What can LS do to make you format your drive? Sounds more like a machine problem or dare I say the problem is between the chair and keyboard if your preformance increased enough to where your supervisors notice I would have to say that LS was making you look good. I myself have not had the oppurtuninty to format my own PC in at least two years and I run Mandrake and XP Pro. So, instead of spewing your BS here I suggest you send your negative comments to support@microsoft.com
