    | Firstly .... i don't do "bashing" ... that is for people who wish to 
    | waste time. 
    | 
    | My life revolves around supporting MS Products, and dealing the fallout 
    | from idiots who create havoc by writing viruses and malware.
    | 
    | I actually *like* and *enjoy* using a lot of MS products, so please, 
    | don't even suggest i would waste my time "bashing" such a monolithic 
    | organisation. To what end would it achieve?
    | 
    | Microsoft need to attend to a little more detail to maintaining 
    | *current* information, and not recommending 2 year old products via a 
    | link that has been placed on my machine by a *new* service pack.
    | 
    | And yes, we all make mistakes, i acknowledge that. So what do we do? 
    | Ignore them, or learn from them?
