Done with Microsoft!

I made the jump to Mac. I've been battling Windows the last few months after installing IE7 (that they snuck in as an "update"). After it was installed, I began to start having problems with the file system. Then it starting getting really bad. I uninstalled IE7 and reverted the registry to a date that was before the IE7 install. It was good for a week or two and then the file system starting going to crap...and this time it was causing the whole file system to crash anytime a file transfer happened (e.g. loading new podcasts).

I finally had enough. I went out and got a Mac. I must say that it was easier to switch than I though.

I won't be going back to Microsquish and their buggy products for a very long time.
