    Perhaps you shouldn't run as an administrator and blindly accept every ActiveX installation you're prompted with when visiting porn sites.

    Only for javascript. And believe it or not, there is a whole helluva lot more to web dev than javascript. This isn't the 90's you know.

    Well, if you've got IE on it at all it's trash already.

    Worse yet, they stupidly put it on the right side so you have to mouse further to get to it, as well as placing the stop and refresh buttons on the right side of the address bar.

    Over on the right side - you mean just above the scrollbar, that a lot of users will be using to scroll with? Their mouse will already be on that side of the screen. In fact, with the lack of a menu bar, there's no reason to not be there, as there's little or nothing on the left of note.

    have you seen Vista or Windows Live Messenger? Blech

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I actually quite like them, although admittedly I've not spent a lot of time playing with Vista (couldn't get my wireless dongle working with Beta 2).

    Actually it's a perfect example as to why the many UNIX filesystems are broken. As mentioned many times updating a file in use means that existing programs continue to use the older loaded version of that file, complete with any security vulnerabilities. MS specifically designed the filesystem to not permit this as to not allow that to happen.

    And who the Hell cares about a reboot? OS uptime is not important whatsoever, and if you're going to have to restart a daemon so an update actually takes effect then you are dropping the availability of the service anyway which is the only important factor. I'm sorry but my penis size is sufficient that I don't require inflated uptime values.
