My computer has never crashed. Ever. Sony VAIO. Updated to the fullest. Owns. My computer has never let me down.. never. And I'm hoping it never will. I'll leave it here in a few months to go to college and might trade it in for a lap top. I don't really wanna lose this computer though..

Hey snlildude87,

Frankly, I'm just a little bit confused as to the point of your post.
Just HOW much clearer do you have to make it ????

The POLL TITLE is [QUOTE]Windows "updates" Crashed Your Computer? [/QUOTE]

the #1 post thread says..

[QUOTE]judging from the many posts to the forums re: hardware & software problems... I posted this question:
HOW MANY TIMES HAS A "UPDATE" downloaded directly from MSs website..
CRASHED YOUR COMPUTER ???
[/QUOTE]

My subsequent post thread reads..

[QUOTE]QUESTION:
AFTER you have downloaded AND installed a new Windows "update" ..
HOW MANY TIME HAS IT (IE. THE WINDOWS UPDATE) CRASHED YOUR COMPUTER ???[/
QUOTE]

which is almost an exact paraphrase of your suggestion in your post.. and I quote
[QUOTE] you should have made a better question, or a clearer question, in my opinion, because you asked if windows has crashed one's computer...not how many times one's computer has crashed due to a windows update[/QUOTE]

So maybe you can help me understand.. how your suggestion is relevant? Just what, specifically was the point ??

All understanding & knowledge is contextural. If you take my comments (or anyone elses) out of context you can make them say just about anything you want them to say...SO.. your entitled to your opinion.. BUT..
Please.. before you overly criticize my or any one elses post(s) or "split" linguistic semantic "hairs"..
Please...try to look at things in their totality.

Most of the previous posters "got it" ie. the intent & purpose of the poll.
Most of the previous posters gave thoughtful posts with relevant content.
This post was started to provide real insightful informative feedback to the members in this forum. I hope it will continue to benefit the members as additional people continue to post their personal experiences.

Hope this is clearer,
RGPHNX

    (19)
    From What I heard about WMP11, Microsoft's original plans for Windows Media Player (WMP)
    11--formerly code-named Aurora--were fairly low-key, with just a few minor new features. That's
    all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to
    XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of
    shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that
    month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for ear....
