Sometimes works. Can get anywhere from 10-30 minutes out of it. Just long enough to spin up the platters, and copy a crap load of data to a thumbdrive.

That can be all the time you need if all the data is kept in predictable locations

Unfortunately, this is MS. Unless they explicitly disable any integration with other MS apps during development, they will just roll more of the crap features into, turning it back into the next generation of IE.

But hey, you can connect to your Xbox Live account on it, and emulate some games that you can play on your phone and such.

I tried Syndicate and was dead in about 30 seconds. Mouse scroll speed was like Warp 6 with no way to slow it down.

Is that gaming, or masturbating, or one and the same? :)

Nope. They'll just figure out a way to inject Olympic ads and crap into your game as part of your DLC.

So you will PAY them money to watch their ads.

Wait, how many states associates a driver's license with the vehicle registration?

Granted, it could be loosely inferred / deduced based on other relateable elements.

Additionally, as states are not required to share DMV records, or at least I don't think they are, lost my train of thought... Something relational data missing content, etc.

They've banned violent video games in the past. Phantasmagoria 1 and 2 were banned.
