Can you substantiate the "less... reliable" bit of your rant, this

"amatuer"
would like to know if there is an issue, or if your post is just a rant.


Windows is not verry reliable..
now I dont know HOW They do it BUT they could modify the MBR and point to
the flash program (so when the pc reboots then it reboots in dos, attempts
to flash, then modify's the MBR back for the windows boot) but I dont know
if they do that, if they are flashing from within windows then I would have
to say that I dont think it's a verry wise thing but compared to pre W2k (or
XP) systems then it would have been a complete mistake..
Even NT wasnt stable at some stuff, 98 and below would be horrid.
