Windows? I mean, what's the point if you're using it on your own machine?
All the instability of Windows, the malware, spybots, viruses -- with a few
token Linux programs. If I've got to run Windows programs, I'll run them in
Wine or in a Virtual Machine under Linux.

I tried it out the other day. I was underwhelmed by what I saw, but
I'll admit it may not have had a fair shake.
It ran up without any errors. I saw that I had access to some KDE
programs in the menu. But none of it would actually run. I'm not sure
why. I didn't try to solve it once I saw that I still had 100% Windross
look, feel and instability, and all I was going to gain was a bad
impression (if I was a noob) of some "linux" software in the process.
