Richard,
I hope with a vengeance that Bill delivers but I'm left scratching my head at the same time.
This isn't a points scoring exercise because it effects us all. How can anyone trust a solution from Microsoft? I followed your Gibson link today - a very interesting and useful site. But I also saw yet another cottage industry devoted entirely to righting the tosh produced by Redmond.
How can anyone produce repeated iterations of a product where buffer overruns in the clipboard open up the OS. The clipboard for heavens sake and it's been like that since 3.1
It's certainly a free market out there - free of secure, working, reliable software and system architecture.
Sorry about the thread drift but it needed saying with a new techie on board (welcome Liam!). It can be tidied up for the FAQ's. PPRuNers generally want to just use their computer for productive work or entertainment. The computer itself isn't an interest, it is a major annoyance. That's the reason for the word 'issues' in the forum title.
I think I'll go for a bit of a lie down now
Rob
