Shawn,

Using this line of thought I would put it to you that if Apple, which
controls both OS and the Hardware, is excused from testing every
single *user* configuration...then MS, which only creates the OS, should
also be excused and possibly commended for creating an OS which runs on so
many MORE divergent machines and configurations.

Best,

Henry
