meh
quick history:
I got my IBM thinkpad a little over a year ago, and after a month of using it I decided the 40 gig hdd that came with it wasnt exactly going to cut it.. so I got an 80 gig drive, Ghosted my current windows, put it on the new drive and put the 40 gig on the shelf (litterally)
well, about 4 months after that windows ate itself. I got extremely annoyed with it and thats the point Beatles helped me with MDK 10.1
(and about a week or two back I gave windoze the final blow.. I asked MDK to resize its partian and it somehow erased/corrupted a rather important windows startup file, so windoze is dead.. and unfortunaly it is nessisary to have for specialty programs, esp. Dreamweaver, Photoshop and iTunes)
Well, the drive that was only used for one month has all my nessisary programs (Office, Dreamweaver, Photoshop) and is in pristine condition.. everything works as it should, its responsive, just really nice.. I need to re-Ghost it again, very very quickly.. (the hdd that held my backups crashed.. Hitatchi DeskStar, aka DeathStar, lost two of 'em and havnt bought another.. the TravelStar I use in my laptop curiously works fine, much better than the others.. using a Seagate external drive now, works much better so far)
though, using this pristine version of windows I see how people can like it, at first anyhow..
I'm not sure why, but all windows installations I've seen eat themselves over time.. they slow down, do things behind your back like delete programs, remove things important to the running of the OS, get viruses and spyware.. and generally just needs to be reinstalled..

just replied to your pm devari 
but I'm lazy, so I'll just part of it to reply to this topic
yup
I use cxoffice.. actually managed to convince myself to buy a copy
works well for office and various windows plugins (like windows media player 6) apparently shockwave works as well, havnt yet tried it though
my Dreamweaver doesnt work yet (it is MX 2004)
iTunes wont work with my iPod, although Amaroq now has support.. iTunes is just easier, its not often that I add new music to it
and photoshop 7 wont draw curves (only strait lines), but all the filters work fine..
Visio is supposed to semi-work, but I'll probably end up using windows for it as well, as its Really annoying to be working on somthin and have the program crash or go "funny".. cxoffice is pretty good about that, but things do happen..
I use IE to check my website format, make sure it's compatible with most browsers, there have been some discrepencies.. and also for running Windows Updates happy.gif yes it runs fine.. kinda funny really, it just sees my computer as running windows 98...

his or her Dreamweaver does not work yet it is a lot of things.
And easier its not often that he or she add new music to it
and photoshop 7 will not draw curves only strait lines but all the filters work fine is iTunes.
I think Visio is a lot of things.
I think cxoffice is a lot of things.
I heard other people use IE to check his or her website format make sure it's compatible with most browsers there have been some discrepencies too.
Your purpose is running Windows Updates happy. I've never heard a response quite like that before. I've never heard a response quite like that before. :*laughs*:
