You are just a microsoft shill. Lots of them live in newsgroups to spread
the 'good news' that XP is great. People who use it, and dislike it, are
not going to be paying much attention to someone who talks like a
telemarketer, phrase after phrase after phrase.

When you explain, from a purely techincal point of view, why an OS would
have any problems when an application is located somewhere besides the
default, then you can gain some credibility, but a disk location is a disk
location, and even the mighty XP cannot look at the table, and decide that
something is not where it wants it to be, especially when the installation
program allows for someone to put stuff in a 'non standard' location.

I am dying to here why an XP machine with Photoshop on
C:\documents\apps\stuff\downhere\underneath\settings\othercrap\lookatme\adobe\bin\exe\files\photoshop
will run rock solid, and one with photoshop on D:\photoshop will crash and
burn twice a day.

Good luck with that one.
