No! I am not going to munge the operating system. Just as you have said in
the past - it should just work! If Ubuntu 7.04, and other flavors of Linux
can't run what I need "out of the box" (so to say), WTF good is it.

I had hoped that Manical had come along further than they did.

If these other things that you have talked of in the past are available, and
allow one to load Window programs, why isn't it included, turned on and
configured to do so **BY DEFAULT**.

Then they may have something.

As it stands now it is a somewhat relaxing diversion.
