The show contains "typical "Family Guy"-style jokes, including riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest." I supposed that does not fit with the cute Windows 7 commercials containing little kids, but what were they expecting?

I thought of a solution that would hold M$ and Hardware Vendors responsible and provide restitution to their victims. Force M$ and the vendor to provide XP downgrade disks WITH proper drivers to their victims.

I would be satisfied with XP working on the two computers, 1 desktop and 1 laptop, that I was provided only Vista for. Neither have drivers that are XP compatible. A steep discount on the Windows 7 would be a nice gesture too. Win7 is faster on my laptop but the headphone jack stopped working. Cen5
