Re: Love that Vista!

["John Taylor" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same here. Approximately 200 machines, all running XP for years without any
major problems that didn't involve a hardware failure. All managed by one
guy (me), with very little time actually required to do so. I'm happy with
it.

Of course, I read on this list all the time what a wretched OS it is, and
how it never seems to be working. I suppose we're just lucky.
