I think Windows has changed rather alot from the old days of 95. XP is a much greater product then 95 was. Sure XP isn't perfect, but how do you expect it to work on 100% of system flawlessly? For that fact, how can you expect 100% perfect software? Human error always will show through, though Microsoft could probably handle it better.
Personally, the "security" features of Longhorn scare the willies out of me. Being Australian and having a government thats still trying to struggle with the concept of ADSL, I'm not sure what their stance would be in regards to Palladium (sp?). I have to agree in that its all just to keep an eye on what the Users are using and the information we're keeping. I'm guessing Microsoft might even sell such information for a price
I don't trust having someone over my shoulder watching everything I do and look at, in case I might just do something I'm not supposed to do. It's like having my girlfriend watching me chat on irc, just in case a girl tries to chat me up
