I don't understand what the big deal is. I built a bare-bones system for my kids a few years back and installed Windows98. I then turned it over to my kids and within a few months, they had it running dozens of freeware programs. They could open up and work with MS Office documents, do e-mail, play music, whatever. And it didn't cost me an additional dime. Very similar to what this guy did.

The difference is this guy is probably a columnist who's 55 yrs old and thinks Solitaire is a marvel on the pc.

So his accomplishment makes him feel like a whiz.
