Hmm.. interesting concept (brought to my attention by Phil Gibbons)

The amount of time that I spend rebooting windows must all mount up. If it 
takes 2 minutes to reboot windows to the desktop, and I have to do this 3 
times a day, that means that i've lost 6 minutes of my life.. per day. I work 
5 days a week, that makes 30 minutes per week. Assuming I work 47 weeks per 
year, that's 1410 minutes per year - 23.5 hours, almost a day!

This then means that if I work with windows for my working life (50 years, 
ish) I will die having lost at least 50 days of my life! That's two and a 
half years holiday allowance, which I could have spend relaxing/sunning 
myself.

So, any lawyers here (Mrs. Geoff?) care to comment... should we file a class 
action lawsuit on behalf of all of Microsoft's customers and employees?
