Hi Ze'ev,

Well, then what do you call the registry, and that Windows programs
intertwine themselves with all parts of the system...have you ever tried
uninstalling a Windows program manually?  It's near impossible, except for
certain programs...but certainly not the majority.

Let me put it this way...the Mac Lumina was simply drag and drop...the SAME
program for the PC required modification to the Autoexec.bat, had about 20
files, modified the registry...added DLLs to the Windows directory...etc.
etc.

This will be my last response on this topic, since it is really quite
OT...that is unless someone says something really stupid, my self included
;-)

Regards,

Austin
