you apparently don't know what you're talking about. windows update does NOT open a browser with "express" and "custom" buttons. by default in xp sp2, it is set to automatically download & install updates. updates are done in the background. when the update process is completed, the user is prompted to reboot. gee - that sounds easier than the "fire up the app from the Apple menu" process you described. going forward, you should get a clue before spouting utter bullshit. but it was a nice try, asshole.
1) subscription-only army might be a good thing. those who support war can pay for it. how is this bad?
2) i find it amusing that you consider public education to be 'free'. this statement tells me you pay no property tax. when you decide to move out of your parent's basement, you might be surprised how much this 'free' education actually costs.
3) individuals with a public high school education are already a massive underclass. most 2/4 year college graduates fall within this same category. try living a comfortable lifestyle with the income provided by a job right out of high school.
4) governments (at least in the US) do not spend money wisely. please note that this does not mean that all money is spent unwisely. have you checked out the federal budget for 2006 (summary? we will have a 49.0% increase in discretionary military spending, 9.6% DECREASE in agriculture, 11.5% DECREASE in housing and urban develpoment, 5.5% DECREASE in justice spending, and 2% DECREASE in energy spending. do you think it is wise to cut spending of programs which directly affect the quality of life of americans so that the money can be spent decreasing the quality of life of individuals overseas?
have you tried bringing a pouch with a screwdriver and a 2.5" laptop drive onto a plane recently? if so, i was wondering if you explained the purpose of the screwdriver/disk pouch to the friendly security personnel before or after your full body cavity search.
in what way (other than the pretty buttons) has the office user interface changed since 2000? just moved from 2000 to 2003 at work (and xp to 2003 at home a few years ago) and i see no change in the user interface for word/excel. outlook has changed a bit between xp and 2003, but not so much that it requires 'figuring it out'
you are aware that ms virtual earth is like google maps, not google earth, right? google earth is a client application while google maps and virtual earth are web applications...
next time, try comparing apples to apples. you might find they're quite similar...
good job. help vote the guy in, decide you don't like him, and bail. meanwhile, the rest of us have to continue to pay for your decision. they should make move to nyc so you can have your belongings checked every 10th time you get on the subway/ferry/train.

same for windows 2000/xp. it took me a few minutes to figure out how to enable dvorak. it even lets you define keyboard shortcuts to switch back and forth.
you assume they know what a 'contact list' is. not to mention the fact that their new address gets ~400 spam messages a day. keeping the old compuserve one is easier, and the extra money spent is not going to make them starve

really? i'm about $20k above average for my area and they still love me. maybe they think i'm worth it because i'm that much better than 'average'.

so upgrade your win98 box to 2000... what's the problem?

interesting idea - swerving to AVOID a rabbit. i usually CHASE the rabbit (or deer, or racoon)... it's the closest activity to a sport that i perform.
i didn't pay 10-25% either. i decided to be generous and pay closer to 35% last year. this year, i'm planning to pay closer to 40%.
no, and that's the nice thing about them.
nobody you know under the age of 25 owns a house apparently...
