Hmm, I've experienced a lot of unexplainable software failures with system I don't like (the first time I used a Mac I made it crash almost instantly because I used a menu entry to eject the disk, not the very intuitive drag-to-trashcan metaphor). OTOH, if other people encounter problems while using such systems and ask me for help, the problems suddenly go away. :-/
