microsoft again - service packs

I am pretty sure there is a conspiracy. Cant prove it, cause I dont have the personal data following mac addresses and ips of people foruming and blogging, but I have an idea that m$ is paying trillions to have people post that their installation works flawlessly and that the service pack updates - at worst - gave no performance or whatever issues.

As an admin, ex system programmer, computer designer /engineer with over a quarter of a century experience with their products on brand+noname h/w, there has been nothing flawless. Lately, I trusted them to install xp sp3. I did on a number or various manufacturers h/w. They ALL running now as fast as melassa in alaska during the winter. All, like 100% of them. 90% of them brand new with 4gigs of ram and real core 2. Workstations is the h/w i'm referring, did no tests/applications/observations on rack systems.

Its like Σvista=erase them in greek. They work great, after all crash and booms during install, after decrapifying, after endless hard disk accesses and upgrades... as long as you install nothing but the build in s/w... like explorer and mail. Ok, firefox works too. A "fellow" technician urged me to immediately turn of UAC, as thats what he suggests to his clients. They are on the 'right' track I guess.

So, I'm working m$ since 1980 and I always have trouble, I'm either a failure (not according to my clients that pay me more/hour than their managers) or there is something wrong with software from m$. I -once again- remind you that m$ makes applications and not OSs that they wish they make. The only os they had was DOS that was a dumpster-dive-right. Something like a copyleft or clopyleft (thats greek too) and then the one they bought -semi finished- and named WNT as a nice VMS parody (not just in name, but in OS hard core design).

I want to keep my options open, so I spent all my time using UBUNTU/a Debian Linux made for people that are too old to handle Gentoo [or something like that]. After all I can start writing sysop s/w again and not be tied up to any hidden system technology and have access to any possible bit in my file system. Dont you hate it when you have no access to data on your disk, "for your own protection?". I wonna know whats in there!

my 2 cent and a personal opinion to contemporary O.S. matters.

PS for (L)Users: computers are not made for you. If you cant handle it, go back home and milk your cows for a living. We glorify the 21 century for the technological aspects and you cant handle a different icon or even an ambient desktop wallpaper. But you get certifications for computer literacy by prestigious (!) organizations. Please, gimme a break.... ohhh and when a pop up reports something, READ IT before clicking the OK button. Thats where you need training and certification.
