1. My dear Deja Q...

I am NOT surprised, not one little bit.

This sort of thing is just why I won't buy Windows 7 until some months have gone by...

I don't want to be in the position of having to help iron out the wrinkles in it!

:hi:

2. Meh. Like Apple is perfect.

3. Don't know about the Student version

but the regular 64 bit upgrade installed just fine on my laptop. Everything works hardware wise and so far all my old applications work including Trayplay.

4. I'm not upgrading until i'm forced to

I like XP and dont feel like changing it.

5. Ya get watcha pay for. The cheap fucks who...

buy the $30 edition shouldn't be surprised.

6. The crazy thing is how Mac-zealots attack PCs with the same frenzy as cultists attacking unbelievers

I mean, you never see a PC owner frothing at the mouth, beating his breast, and wailing about the evil inadequacies of Macs (which do, in fact, exist).

The only time you'll see PC owners even make a fuss about it is when Mac owners go off on a tare about crappy PCs allegedly are and, by extension, how foolish/stupid/ill-informed/sheep-like/etc. PC owners must be.


Wacky stuff.
