What a sucky OS these days, to require that.
What I hate about Windows XP is that mim.exe keeps crashing after I've used WMP
or Rhapsody, and then the whole thing is hosed. And when I try to reboot, I have
to help it kill off all these undead processes it can't kill because they're not
responding. Windows is a POS; it astounds me how desperately its users cling to
it, thrashing themselves with the compatibility whip: "But I have to use Windows
XP; it's what the whole world uses."
Okay, fine. Five of the engineers where I work use Mac; the rest of the
employees torture themselves with Windows.

Well, that's true. The OS does that by itself as it runs.
