There you go again... pretending you are some kind of expert and
everybody else is a dummy. You can't stop yourself can you. LOL!

Based on what, your reading of tea leaves? Again another fanboy simply
mouthing his biased opinion. Damn you guys are so full of yourselves
it gets nauseating to read any of the crap you post.

Why is it your type constantly pretends you are so smart, but
everybody else to you is some kind of idiot?

Windows does the same thing when you do a clean install. I bet a lot
of people aren't aware that's what will happen. What I always find so
damn funny about you clowns and that's all you are in you never tire
of ranting and raving about competing products but at the same time
can never bring yourselves to be even a little critical of Microsoft
when it does the same things or worse. I keep asking why, you guys
NEVER answer.

Please tell me you think Windows Vista always uses plain easy to
follow English in it's help. I need a good laugh. Check out the double
talk that Vista offers about UAC and file permissions for example.

There you go again. You simply can't stop suggesting you are so
computer smart and everybody else couldn't possibly know as much as
you do. You have any idea what a pompous windbag you always sound
like?
