Ahhh.. negetive reinforcement. Quite effective - perhaps the most effective deterrant (though near useless to train someone TO do something)

Speaking of Microsoft... Something much akin to what he speaks of happened to me. I'd use a Microsoft product, and eventually, it would crash. Eventually, I got the idea into my head that Microsoft products are horrible, useless, stressful (even painful) things to be avoided at all costs, and switched to Linux full time.

While Im intellectually aware that its possible to get something done in an MS environ without a mess of crashes, I've experienced the pain enough times that the emotional part of me screams "noooooooo!"
