I'm far from stupid, young man - and I suspect that I've been working with
PCs (and running my own very successful company doing it) long before you

unearned respect and credibility by claiming they're "NT Certified" when all
they've achieved is passed a (long since obsoleted) exam or two many years
ago, don't cut any credibility with me either.

I'm far from young.
Granted, my NT tests are obsolete, but the basic principles remain the
same. I have chosen not to upgrade them for the reasons previously
stated.

Just for your information, each and every PC I prepare is individualy
hand-prepped for the job at hand - I'm well aware of "cookie cutter" /
network syspreps - they are irelivant to my operation in the same way a car
production line is irrelivant to building a formula 1 car. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating - judging by your posted experiences, my recipe
seems to produce one hell of a more healthy pudding than what you've been
able to produce. But then again, my results aren't surprising: I've spent a
lifetime in this industry - I've earned my credentials & served my
apprentiship.

When I worked in the computer store, each new computer I assembled
(about 100 or so per year) had Windows installed as per Microsoft's
directives. Following the "factory" load of Windows, each machine was
upgraded to current service packs and value-added software (no nagware)
was added, customers' Internet connections were set up and tested. They
were quality systems...and no AMD.

You on the other hand seem to have reaped what you've sown: You're
disrespectful - you take shortcuts - you try to bluff your way out of
situations (and get caught) - AND you blame everyone else for the results of
your sloppy work - it's not surprising you get the results that you do.

And you're full of shit.
