First: I'm not using Windows.

People who do use Windows just take one of those illegal Windows "All In 
One" media, push a button and in less than 30 minutes they have got a 
stable Windows XP Pro with security upgrades, drivers and without any 
WGA problematic. After that they install asio4all and than they run a 
cracked package to get their audio software.

Full ACK. I never wrote anything different. I don't understand why 
people run Photoshop on Wine, I'm only using GIMP and I would use GIMP 
too, if I would use Windows.

But even if this is bad, it's the comfort you can have for Windows.

Didn't you blame Ross for my words? I often were balmed for words of 
other people and again, I didn't started it here, I just defended Ross.

No, this is a misunderstanding, maybe because of my broken English. Yes, 
I've got friends that find Windows easier to use, I don't use Windows 
privately. I just try to explain that there are illegal ways to set up a 
Windows easily and  that for Linux this could be done legal and I 
mentioned that 64 Studio does! I disagreed with Ross!

You misconduct and use stupid jargon like "troll", without trying to 
understand what I have written.

It's not a game for me, I'm serious, because I like to have a legal 
alternative for the averaged user, I like the idea of FLOSS, I 
programmed FLOSS my self, Linux isn't the only FLOSS community.

This is my last reply to this issue, at the moment I'm helping people to 
fix their Linux, so I'm short of time. I help them without comments to 
use Google, this will make them using cracked Windows stuff instead and 
this also would hurt FLOSS.

Btw. Patrick, please run ntpdate or sntp, it's hard to puzzle your 
replies into the right order.
