I suppose this is probably feeding a troll, but I'll bite never the less.

Your experience does not at all match mine.

My performance has been flawless, Phenom II booting in 30 seconds, instant on from standby.

Yes, companies haven't been adapting old drivers to 64-bit, but that beats the hit/miss Linux driver support. And at least you can count on your wireless working. My Mandriva 2010 Free install has decided to stop connecting to certain networks. And it never automatically reconnects when resuming from sleep- despite a check box telling it to do otherwise.

So, YMMV I suppose, but it's really not as bad as all that.

Mod parent up.

The problem with that premise is that tax reduction (at least at the corporate level) is not a 1 to 1 ratio, and there's an upper limit. Why would MS spend a couple hundred million to see a couple hundred thousand taken off their tax bill?

You've just described my deepest, darkest fantasy.

It* does support Adblock.

*By it I mean SRWare Iron.

In all this, I wonder what will happen/has happened to the Shadow Warrior ip? After DNF, was there going to be a Shadow Warrior remake? Who want'sa some Wang?
