Kiddies? Surely you are aware that there are many open-source servers
connected to the Internet (ISP's, large corporations) run by professional,
credentialed, system administrators. Perhaps you have a "history" with
this poster that would cause you to comment thus, however, your comment as
it stands, is unsubstantiated and somewhat unsupportable. Fairly easy and
safe to make that comment here in a protected environment but ...

My experience is that you offer excellent Windows advice and I have been
lurking here for years and seen a lot of your posts. I was suprised
at your response. Perhaps disscussing GNU/Linux is something you should
avoid.

I generally agree with your advice about registry cleaners and I
certainly would not purchase a commercial one. On Windows95&98 I did use
the unsupported Regcleaner from Microsoft. Since it didn't tell the user
what it was doing, I don't know if it was effective, however, it never
broke any system I used it on and I'm fairly sure the Microsoft developers
intended it to clean up something. I would expect that XP handles the
registry very well, because developers should/do learn from mistakes.

There are "kiddies" using any and all operating systems and my 30+ years
experience in the business does not lead me to believe that only "adults"
use Windows (yes, on mainframes before the first PC was sold). Many of
the crackers who are dropping trojans and virus are "script kiddies" using
programs from a Windows platform.

Bob's post is still mostly rubbish (maybe just due to his misinterpreting
what is actually going on with his system), I also worry about novice
users who take advice about someone's favorite program and run it
improperly thereby trashing their system because they haven't taken the
time to understand what's involved, but your post is not exactly
totally objective truth either.
