I don't understand why people hate microsoft and their OS "Windows" so much. I know one reason why people hate it is because microsoft tries to monoplize the OS market. People say that windows is junk and all that but I think it is pretty easy to navigate and user friendly and stuff. I don't know much about computers but I wish windows had diffent modes it can run in to optimize the computer's performance. Like when gaming I wish it would stop doing its internet security backround checking so you could get those extra framerates in playing your games and such. Frankly I don't know enough about how computers work to understand what an operating system should be capable of and all that stuff. My "Windows XP Media Center 2005 edition runs stable and I have reinstalled it several time and it is very easy and it does all the work for me pretty much. I would say that the installing process could be more intuitive . When it asks for a driver and I install the wrong one or skip that it will just continue and not tell me what the hell it is doing with the wrong one or what will happen without that installed even though the name of the driver is usually the give away.
