Oh do fuck off, quirk.
The wintrolls slam anything that's open source and you know it.
Open office, gimp, even firefox has been slammed by those fuckwits.

Everything available on screen at once. In older times when screen real

in the 2048+ resolution range, it isn't.

No, I only call the people who repeatedly demonstrate their trollishness
"wintrolls". Or just plain trolls. You fall into the middle category, half

We know. Many gnu/OSS projects do.
And if they don't work on windows directly, they most likely will with
