    About time we hear more of this!!!  Everyone "talks" about it, few act upon those words.  @garybear  I applaud and stand with you.  We must wake more sheeple.  Disobey... we remove the control... We will not stop.

    This may be or may not be my last comment here. I just used a Xp Sp2 CD to restore a PC given to me by a friend. I then down loaded XP SP3 and installed it. After several automatic updates, that old computer is running like a singer sewing machine. It may need more memory latter. I then used Macrium Reflect to make a back up image of the C drive. I just finished restoring that image and it worked perfectly. It simply amazes me that Microsoft XP can do all this and Macrium Reflect can back up the C drive and restore it perfectly and W7 can't do the same. It also amazes me that Stephen Boots has no comments and won't even answer my email. My question is where the **** is all the MVP's. I'm just a old cancer survivor that taught myself while doing chemo. I'm sure I will soon be banned from this site, but as I stated before, I listen to my creator and I do and say what I think my inter voice is telling me to post here. Come on Microsoft, be the company Bill Gates created. I'm always ready to listen to and help Microsoft any way I can. garybear!

    Microsoft !! You have a lot of bugs. You have bugs with MSE, You have bugs with Windows 7. You really don't give a damn, do you! Shame on you Microsoft. The big dog of OS's and you don't care. Hang your head in shame Bill Gates. Your MVP's have let you down. I will survive and I will live to tell my story. Yea I'm crazy and I'm really tired of your BS. What a total waste. Do you really think you have us little guys snowed?? You don't have this cancer survivor snowed . Your Windows 8 stinks and you just keep putting your BS on the market. How sad this is!! I'm hoping that more of us will expose your BS, but until that happens, this old cancer survivor will carry on the fight alone. You don't even hsave the guts to answer my emails. Yea I'm crazy, but I have you figured out. Your a loser!! You won't even respond to this thread. How sad is that??
