I agree. The incredible stupidity of Windows stresses me out no end.

I have a terminal server I have used for months. I moved it into the 
server room today, restarted it, and it told me I had "new hardware". 
WTF? That sort of stuff happens *way* too often.

Windows does not work the way I think an OS should, so trying to figure 
it out *is* stress. I can't do a good job when I am forcing myself to go 
to a job I don't like.

In fact, to take that a step further, I find cheap x86 hardware stresses 
me out, too. I'd much rather work on any Sun hardware. Generally it Just 
Works.

And I am in the job market in Maine, no less. ;-) My whole state only 
has about a million and a quarter people in it. But I still don't do 
Windows.
