"This truly uncompelling start contrasts profoundly with the Windows installation experience. There was no need to download a web-browser for Windows (Microsoft thoughtfully decided to integrate one with their operating system), so instead we downloaded a small shareware productivity utility called “BonziBuddy”.

The installation couldn't have been simpler; The install icon appeared on my desk. All I had to do to install the program was double-click on it. There were no additional passwords to type in and as an additional courtesy to users, Windows installers often include extra programs that might be of interest.

For example, my download included Claria, and Comet-Cursor. A review of these utilities is outside the scope of this article, nonetheless it was gratifying that the makers of Windows software have the freedom to innovate."

I was rolling by the time I read this last paragraph.

Boy that really tickled your fancy didn't it. Yeah well what are you doing here, why don't you head on over there and join on in with all the full bore American bashing that's going on in the comments section? They all sound just like you do so you might have the time of your life.
