    of course, I would have prefered them to have released it before I bowed to management and hacked around all the non-standard shit in IE6 which IE7 fixes. urg!

    Flash 9 for Linux is newsworthy, too, but this is a new version of the best Firefox download tool available on Windows!

    No, no no.. It is that grandma doesn't do much of anything but cause problems with her windows allowing me to come over and fix it. I look like a genuis and I am pretty much guarenteed a place in her will.

    Fist, I try the trained monkey thing were I just click things and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I try looking for help on the interweb, If that doesn't work I'll post something on a message board or maybe microsoft's help and support mailing list, If still nothing after a day or so, I just reload everything and talk about how tuff it was. I might even throw out some scarry words like virus, spyware and malware. Generaly it isn't any of them but grandma has heard just enough of it on the eveniing news to know it is something to be reconed with.

    Now everything works and I'm the hero! You see, If i install linux, I would likley loose the chance of being the hero, possible the spot in her will, and if something actualy did mess up, I would have to call someone who actualy knows something to fix it. So windows is good, linux is bad.
