I think I remember something like that happening to a friend of mine back in High School, but with MS Word instead of Explorer.
I've been getting pretty pissed off at OS10.6, myself. It changed a bunch of little, but fundamental things, and as far as I know, there's no way to change them back to the way they've worked under all other OSX versions. I've been using if for like 8 Months now, and it still wrong-foots me all the time.
What are you talking about? Windows 2000, until Windows XP SP2 at least, and then Windows 7, was one of the best, most rock solid Microsoft OSes out there since DOS. Windows NT 4.0 stability with much better plug and play and multimedia support, and you have Windows 2000.
What Apple did to tick ME off is to not allow me to use this Nano I got for a gift without iTunes 10... and to use that, I have to upgrade 10.4. Thanks a pantload, guys!
I still have a windows 2000 machine too - well actually, it died (insofar as it boots up at all, which is not very far but maybe enough if I wanted to try to retrieve something else from the hard drive, it does so from a Linux cd).
But I still have a windows 2000 *virtual* machine for the obvious reason - I have the license, so it's all legal, and I don't particularly want to pay MS for a new OS license just so I can test things.
Might have to eventually though given that, erm, apparently microsoft disowned it as above, and finally lots of stuff doesn't run on it any more (forget IE8, you can't even install IE7 on win2k - one more depressing reason why ie6 has stuck around so long).

And now I give you another movie made from a fake Grindhouse trailer.
