Fail.

Lets imagine, if you will, you are a giant computer software company.

You've got your own operating system and a messenger system. You would imagine that one would work on the other flawlessly.

One hundred percent of the time, perfect running. Provided that the internet is on and no security issues exist. Or - maybe not.

Allow me to introduce Microsoft Messenger. Despite being on a perfectly stable, boring Windows XP setup it refuses to connect to the internet. Which is on. Nothing running that would cause problems.

But if you reboot it *may* work.

If they can't get something as simple as a chat client to work reliably why do we trust them with an OS?
