This was six years ago, and XP was in full swing at the
time. ?It was made
worse becuase I remembered reading the license agreement for the version
they were using, and it included a statement that said
it shouldn't be used
for this sort of task.
The restriction (not for use in nuclear reactors, mission-critical programs, etc.) was for
Java, IIRC, not Windows itself.
