I'm no gamer, but it was Dreamweaver and paint Shop pro that kept me with Windows. I've been running Linux full-time on the desktop since 2008, with XP running virtually as I needed it.
I've finally gotten comfortable with Gimp and Eclipse. I still fire up the XP machine for Dreamweaver's GUI and SQLYog. But I'll be fully Linuxised by the time XP loses its support.
But one thing's for damned certain: their days of dominance are over. OVER! YES!!!!!!!!!
Got it!
That was a couple of years ago. Now, i hate these greedy bastards so much that i would pay more for music just to bypass them.

With all the fancy scientists in the world, why can't they just once build a nuclear balm?
