  I think that what Microsoft is doing is a joke!. Microsoft has not produced anything stable in the past few years. I am a computer, network, and server technician and I am studying for my Linux certification. In my view Linux is way more stable than Microsoft Windows will ever be.
  
  What Microsoft should do is forget about the sales help and stick on working for a product that's more stable.
  
  Then again, that's just my IT opinion.
