    I think they do care, but they're getting awfully lazy. I know of several hilarious key-related issues regarding Vista. :P

    There is always an issue with Vista. *punches*

    Stupidest thing had to be trying to get a hold of an Adobe Photoshop keygen, and instead of using my friend's that works, I looked it up online. I downloaded it, and it was an .exe file. Usually I'd be like, "Ahhh, virus." but today I was feeling like an idiot.

    So I clicked it. And my computer shut down.
    It's fixed now, but boy, my friends in my CS major rode me about it for a while. xD

    I had this extremely weird and stupid ambition of installing Virtual PC (a Windows emulation app for Mac OS X), and so I did. Little did I know that I had to stay up until 2AM to get it working due to the install being incredibly slow.

    The next day I realized I've lost like 15 GB of memory due to the app and the installation, and since it was incredibly slow, I just removed it, but my God did it take quite the time removing all the system files and getting rid of all the stupid garbage. >_>

    Virtual PC is super fast on my friends MAC.

    The wors tthing I did with my computer is let my older sister use it.

    Let's just say, I've never seen 4 viruses in 2 minutes.

    VIRUSES!!! I can't believe how many times I've had to re-install this PC with the number of viruses I get. I've had all the major viruses that target Windows, like that blaster worm thing made by that teenager a few years back.

    When I was small I accidentally (Ok maybe I knew but I was little. :P) pushed the monitor into the floor from like 2/3 feet from the table. It survived but I guess that's all that I have...
