Woohoo!!!

[George Toft]

What is the correct setting for a default install?  I choose
the defaults for Windows and Office, and it blue screens about
once per hour.  Do you think that after 54 installs, in the name
of efficiency and speed, that I won't choose the defaults just
to get it done?

I have heard that MCSE's can make Windows stable.  It should not
require that level of vendor training to make a consumer product
work.
