It isn’t my responsibility to protect you from yourself.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I'm sure you'll never do any time.

Better actually but we’re not supposed to go there remember.

Yes we can, just don't get nasty. I come at this from the point of view of a Windows expert user and admin from v.2 to present, having switched to Mac three years ago for personal use. Windows 7 is good, and I have spoken rather kindly of it here. But in my experience in both worlds, it doesn't quite beat OS X yet. I felt slowed-down on Windows after just a month or so getting used to OS X. Windows expert >> OS X newbie = already faster on OS X.

As far as Microsoft and treatment of temps, they were actually busted for it. Sadly, this resulted in many temps losing even the temp jobs they had as Microsoft modified its temp practices to comply with the law.

“I come at this from the point of view of a Windows expert user “

I come at this as the owner of a security company who tests government, healthcare, and financial institution systems for security and compliance with security requirements.

Somewhat different approaches. I also come as a developer specializing in HCI, so usability and UI efficiency is a big thing for me. So you're one of the guys doing the DIACAP audits, huh? Those are fun to go through if you're ready, a nightmare if you're not.
