I do sympathize. I upgraded to W/864 bit from XP on a 7 yr. old PC for 30.00, with the (waiting) 40.00 rebate card. I tried every major Linux distro, but i simply could not get the functionality i easily get under Windows, unless i became a coder.

Here are a couple threads which express some of my wants, plus there is the problem of not being able to legally play all media formats.

Apple is run by a gay guy, and Gates/Ballmer were big donors to the Wash St gay marriage initiative.
