It's true! Everyone seems to recognize this but Microsoft. I remember the Vista Release Party and the band, Angels & Airwaves, that closed out the event. The chorus of a song droned over and over, "...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Maybe this was prophetic

To be honest... I've had no problems with it. Maybe it's because I don't do much beyond disease surveillance, spreadsheets and presentations, write to my blog, my novel, and my daily journal, manage and edit my pictures, print greeting cards, play video games, edit maps and other data, build MS Access applications, edit my website, and create portable apps for epidemiologists... But that's just me.
