| I’m glad that I found PCLOS, because it’s definitely been worth using to me.
| Both machines I have it on are set to dual boot either it or Windows, but I
| find myself booting to Windows less and less as PCLOS is just so much more
| efficient. I know I’ll find gripes as I keep messing with it, but for now
| I’m completely happy with it.

Resistance to change is the cause. Yes, Dana has planned to do this for years,
but older people are less inclined to abandon things. The poor state of
Windows (and Vista *shudders*) probably contributed to this.
Maybe Microsoft will bribe him with a Windows laptop. He asks for a new one.

| This is the most frustrating thing about the practice of giving

| It's a bribe. Period. You say nice things about us, you get nice

| better things about us.
