By that, I mean I have everything I need on the unit, and I use it for work, for hobby, for correspondence, etc. It gets put into hibernation mode many times a day, switches from 1 to 2 monitor setups, etc. It is rock stable. I don't have quite the laundry list that Alex notes. I install updates, I run apps from untrusted sources in a VM first, I did disable some unneeded things (MSN, for example) long ago, but I don't use Task Manager for anything, and I use it just like most folks. It's a hard worked, and a very dear laptop. I do use Firefox and THunderbird, so as to avoid many of the virus trigger points (Firefox/Thunderbird give me a better view of where the hyperlinks are really taking me when I click on them. I program AVRs, view all my reference documentation, do my board schematics and layouts, compile my source code, edit my code, correspond with folks, edit my documentation, watch movies, comvert movies for my media player, etc. It's such a useful part of my toolbox, I won't go many places without it. As I type this, it's sitting on my JottoDesk in the truck hooked into Verizon Internet via a cellular air card bouncing around while we drive through lower MI back from Toronto. I don't know if "pleasure" is the right word, but I find it's a nice tool that allows me to concentrate on other things. I don't "manage" it all that often, but I do take care of it. I'd do the same things with my Linux box, so it's less the OS and more the setup and diligence. I will agree that Windows gives one more options to undermine the stability of the OS, but it cna be a stable and useful OS. Mind you, I'm talking about XP. If we're discussing Vista, I'll back Angel and Tony up. I have it here, but it does not appear to allow folks to concentrate on other things.
