Eventually, yes!

And not necessarily a long wait.

I don't know hat you guys are doing. The last time I had to repair
Windows was in the days of Windows 2000. Since then it's been a
substantially smooth ride apart from the frequent changes in the user
interface.

I might have been exaggerating. The last time I had to repair Windows
was 3 long days ago. And it's been about a month since I had to reset
all of my audio settings to get any sound. But that is a monthly
thing, so I can't really complain.

We obviously use our PC's in different ways. And admittedly, it's not
necessarily Windows itself with some issues, but I think Windows
should better handle problems that pop up with mainstream software,
instead of just locking up. If I can't even kill a process, I blame
Windows for that.

I think you're also forgetting that Spyder issue you had, and the file
permissions issues.

I wouldn't class the Spyder problem as the fault of Windows any more
than I attribute my i1 problems to Windows. The file permissions
problems are something I could do without but they continue to work as
intended and have never brought Windows to a grinding halt.

They make networking between machines running different versions of

I am distinguishing between all problems I have had and those which
are purely attributable to Windows.

how would using a spyder plugged into a usb port cause windows
networking problems?

for that to be true, windows would need to be *really* ****ed up.

they're all attributable to windows.

you are dismissing an entire set of problems for no valid reason, other
than to justify using windows.

Nope. It's your understanding of the English language is ****ed up. I
was commenting on "The file permissions problems are something I could
do without but they continue to work as intended and have never
brought Windows to a grinding halt." I presume that you too were
commenting on 'the file permissions problems' when you wrote "those
absolutely are a problem with windows.".

Not if you want to access a wide range of files on one machine from
another.
