| you know m$ can find a way to screw up anything they get their hands on. they tend to create some great features and flaunt those as to why you should buy their product over anybody else's, but then those 'features' don't always work right. i admit that we have Direct TV at our house. i wanted Tivo but she argued that it didn't have as many features as the m$ system. like all m$ products this thing requires regular reboots and updates to function properly. and it still doesn't do what it is supposed to. now Tivo has all the same features and i cuss at this thing all the time, although i would hate to be without some system that does what it does. but really needing to reboot a satelite receiver? needing to get updates to have it do what it's supposed to do from the start and not for adding new functions? who else but m$ would do this!!

| Yeah, Slashdot had an article about a VERY expensive BMW that had an M$ operating system that crashed. The car essentially went into a seizure; lights flashing sporadically, trunk lid opening, very scary. Iwouldn't want to be driving 140mph on the autobahn when that happened. I think M$'s decline is just around the corner, like next year sometime as Linux starts to gain a foothold in the market place. IBM is pushing Linux very hard on its products.

| oh, yea, we have 1 of those as well, jet. it was what we started of with. and that is a direct tv feature. i just realized that the m$ version is called Ulitimate Tv. that's what i was really talking about. as far as i know direct Tv alone is not m$. sorry about that confusion. Ultimate TV is the one with built in HD and digital recording. please - people post any knowledge of anything that m$ gets involved in like car brakes. i would avoid such things at all costs. i have enough problems trusting Billy with my email, no way i want my life in his hands!!!
