   A lot of the frustration experienced by users is caused by the   
   misunderstanding that windows was designed for them, it isn't, it is   
   designed for the systems manager and for use as client os in a client-server   
   context.   
      
   One of the more baffling responses I got on my initial quest to get a p2-300   
   running win98se and later ME to perform was that someone told me that if I   
   restricted the cache allocation then the OS would run poorly. Not that I   
   cared, I just wanted that box to be able to receive sp-dif audio stably and   
   to be able to actually burn a cd .... the concept that the OS was not the   
   most important sw on the box was apparently a novel one.   
      
     Kind regards
