You sure your install was in good shape (sounds to me like you're either being hyperbolic to try and bolster your position or you had a corrupt internal card with swap enabled)? I've used all (release) version of ITOS rather extensively (more extensively than you, I'd guess), and OS2008 is definitely way better than the others. Yes, yes I have, and most of them (apparently) have been fixed in Diablo. So ranting about them now is kind of irrelevant and counter-productive.
