While we're at it, let's take time to test and review New Coke and the Edsel. What's next, an edgy, scathing review of the Kin too? I don't consider myself to be an MS Fanboy so I hate setting myself up for being called such. But when an article is written specifically generate negative street for any company one must serious consider what agenda is at play. Shame on you.

(my only option was to remove from program list.) Im left now with a system that dosn't function, and no means of restoring. Except to reformat and reinstall. Yet another waste of time and effort XP style..... THANKS MICROSOFT!!! :D It dosn't surprize me either:

1) I installed the software.

2) It wont start.

3) Its services (which restart after ending their process), disabled every executable on my system.

4) It wont uninstall. (my only option was to remove from program list.)

Yet another waste of time and effort XP style…..

THANKS MICROSOFT!!! :D

Now my computer thinks it's new again and all my set-up info is gone. Forget System Restore too, it thinks it's on day one again. Stay clear of Service Pack 3, I think it's designed to try and boost sales of Vista. Maybe it's time for a MAC (something I thought I would never say). I love the dog on the new ad! I guess the folks at MS discovered that I was happy and they couldn't stand it. OneMore happy customer. OneCare just auto installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.
