So I installed the new IE 7 patch - or rather, I should say that Microsoft installed it FOR me. Then I did a restart - and got a HANG. Ok, no big deal - this happens all the time! So, I'll just restart.
Restart, get welcome screen. HANG.
Restart. Get welcome screen... hard drive spinning for 11 minutes... HANG.
Restart. Get welcome screen... pause.... hard drive spinning for 14 minutes. Login. Loading (except QuickLaunch toolbar not showing)... start up mail client. HANG.
Restart. Get welcome screen... pause.... hard drive spinning for 11 minutes. Login. Loading... loaded. Choose "Turn Off" from options.
Restart. Finally back and running. THANK YOU Microsoft - you've managed to push me even closer to buying a Mac!

Thanks for the "heads up" Scott! Looks like an interesting service.
Not a problem :-) P.s. I bought a mac for the first time 2 months ago. Best decision I've ever made. Seriously. From an objective, PC user of 20 years, it beats PC's hands down. Just much more practical, convenient, and not one error.
Awwwww...jeez. You're pushing me closer and closer to making the switch as well... :)
Why buy a Mac, will Vista crash better on it?
@BitSplitter - LOL! Yeah, that would be cool. Getting Vista to run in Parallels - that way you could crash it on 2 machines and 3 operating systems at the same time. Brilliant!
