If we're going to flame Microsoft (and if you DON'T flame Microsoft,
there is something seriously wrong with YOU :-)  ) (By the way, MICROSOFT,
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE Windows SDK'S ORDERED MONTHS AGO????? )
why not flame them about their general setup procedures. This applies
to lots of other companies as well. If they don't make a product
that is sufficiently reasonable that all you need is "copy b:*.* c:*.*",
they should include written instructions as to how to do it. IT should
NEVER be necessary to run some totally weird setup program. Most
of their setup programs are abysmally stupid- the one for Windows 2.03
is so stupid that it reloads the whole thing, desk accessories
included, if you just want to change video drivers. And, you can't 
just go partway through it, or some other parts won't work. Whoever
writes these damn things must be INCREDIBLY STUPID!
