So, it only happened one time? How can you base an evaluation on that? I was 
installing a new network card on my brother's computer and the TCP/IP stack 
got corrupted. Even reinstalling Win2K didn't fix it, had to reformat the 
hard drive. Never happened to me before, never happened since. Found out 
later it's a common problem when McAfee firewall is installed. Does that mean 
windows is unusable? You have to keep some perspective.
