Hehe, Dingbat,..experience has taught me most people have to beat thier ahead against the wall at least once before figuring things out.
One story serves to remind me of this.
A friend of mine, who does a nice job of maintaining his computer always ranted and raved about how good some companies drivers are compared to the thing I used.
One night at a LAN party, we happen to be on the same team playing UT.
His computer locked up on two occasions, once blue-screening on him.
I looked over at him and asked, "Does it do that a lot?" He says, "Yea, the game is pretty buggy".
Now I didn't have a crash all night.
It suddenly occurred to me. He had driver problems, but was instead blaming the application for the problem, instead of what the real problem was.
So in his mind, the his was better and the app was the problem.
Same thing applies. People are generally reluctant to beleive the product they just bought has a problem and it is easier to blame the application.
So, very rarely, will I even try to disuade people from making a potentially bad choice.
It also works in the reverse. I won't recommend at ATI user buy a NVidia card, and will not recommend a NVidia user buy an ATI card.
They will both find problems with the video card, even if it is an application problem.
