I gave up on MS a long time ago. Except when forced to work on it at my job, I never returned. I do have one MS laptop that I use to figure out what problem the family or friend is having with app(x) or whatever. But during my years doing 1st and 2nd level IT support, I got so sick of having to reload and update the various flavors of MS that I just stopped using that product. WinXP was the last I actively installed and more or less could tolerate.

Now that my work years have passed, I am more than happy to let that MS laptop sit until I get asked for some help, at which point I tell them it is going to take a while. I have settled on a set of apps on Linux which do everything I could ask for and then some. The only thing I use a VM for is to try out a new flavor of Linux. I find that anything that runs Enlightenment as a front end is fine with me. (Yes, I like eye-candy).

Guess I am just reflecting here. Kind of nice to be in that position... . Maybe I can get used to this retirement thing yet, hmmm... it makes it a lot easier just not having to deal with MS (99% of the time anyway).

Bill Gates can have as many lives as he wants, as long as I don't have to share any part of those lives with him...

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...
