Have you ever lost your work under Windows because you didn't save it often? So if you lose it -- the answer is 'Oh you idiot! You should save your work often!" whereas well ... it wasn't called the blue screen of death for nothing. Have you ever asked for help within Windows, only be taken to a screen talking about a load of stuff which has nothing to do with the subject you want help with?
