Have you used Microsoft software lately? I'm not being facetious - I am truly amazed that software from MS can work over and over again, then fail under seemingly identical (or at least not unusual) circumstances. I realize that *something* is different when these apparently random hangs and crashes occur, but that makes them no less mysterious and frustrating. By most accounts, things are improving with newer releases. I sure hope so!
