That's your specialty, not mine.
I've got several examples of your very own posts to prove my point.

This coming from you is particularly hilarious.

If you're one of those drones who hate Windows because it's nerdy-hip
to do so, then there's nothing that I or anyone else can say to
convince you otherwise.

As opposed to what? Linux?
Oh yeah...Linux is just a dream to set up and maintain.
(Note the heavy sarcasm, in case you missed it)

As I already said...don't blame stupidity/ignorance of the user on the
manufacturer.

Nobody's been pushed into anything.
We each have our own free will to use our own brains to make our own
decisions as to what we will or will not do.

Is that why banks have these really big, really heavy, really thick
safes in them? Because they're not designed for security?

>Banks are not SECURE STORAGE.

More secure than keeping your money in your wallet...or under your
bed.

I do know what I'm talking about.
But unlike you, I posess the gift of common sense.
And common sense tells me that if I'm not qualified or experienced
enough to be setting up an operating system on my computer, then I get
somebody who IS qualified so that they do it properly so that I won't
have to worry about things which I do not understand.

Stupidity is not an excuse.
Neither is ignorance.
