Microsoft, пидарасы

Can find no other word to describe this. In short, installing Vista screwed up my Windows XP installation. In detail, imagine reinstalling Windows XP 3 times (not counting attempts to repair strtup by means of both setup CD for XP and setup DVD for Vista...) and reinstalling Vista once in a span of one evening. Win XP was occupying first partition of first IDE hard drive. When Vista installed itself onto partition 2, it nevertheless decided that THAT is drive C:, pushing XP onto drive D:. So, regardless of Vista's pitiful effort to preserve the old OS bootable (what is this BCDedit.exe, motherfuckers?!! may you rot in hell!), in the context of another (SATA) drive that Vista can not see but XP can, I got a configuration that just would not fucking work. This is what you get for curiosity, sometimes... And I just wanted to remote login to my work PC to fix a unit test. Guess it's all the same.
