i hate vista so much it hurts (sometimes)

Generally if I’m using find, I hate it more…  I hate it like I want to punch it… 

But this has allowed my hate to recede (somewhat)

Actually wait, I still hate it.  The above is GREAT for finding files…  But cr@p for finding things in files…

I hate statements like “windows does it automatically” – my kingdom for grep!!!

That lists about 1 million things that could be wrong.

That is it, I’ve had enough.  I’m going to use grep for win32.
