Bad Example
If your car vendor gave you warnings weekly and patches
monthly for the life of your car you become their business
partner. Your time is being commandeered at their behest. If you
believe their product is substandard and continue to support it
with both your money and a open-ended amount of your own
time, you devalue yourself in the process. What is reasonable?
Will vendors expect us to do to fix their faulty products ad
infinitum?. So tell me who is stupid again.

The Windows monopoly has created a large number of folks like
yourself who lack the ability or imagination to ditch Windows. If
you can't - ask yourself why not - if you don't like the answer,
live with it or buy a Mac. Do it for no other reason than to slap
MS. Just don't gripe about other Windows users being stupid.
Your just drawing attention to your own bad judgement and
promoting MS in the process by absolving them of their
responsibility to deliver a working product.
