Wrong. It installs and runs just fine under QEMU on a linux host.
20,000 years ago glaciers 1 or 2 miles thick used to cover places like Chicago and Toronto. There were maybe 1 *MILLION* human beings on the planet, and CO2 was half its present level. Notwithstanding that, the large glaciers mostly disappeared, temperatures went up 8 degrees C, and sea levels went up over 100 metres. That was *NOT* due to billions of people running around in CO2-spewing SUVs.
Fast forward to today. Alarmists are freaking out over the disappearance of a couple of metres of polar sea ice, and a temperature rise of 1 or 2 degrees, and a sea-level rise of a few centimetres in the next century. They aren't really freaking out. It's just a flimsy excuse by the lib-left for bigger government.

But then, a very good friend of mine told me about Facebook. Its interface is so dumbed down that even a dumb American lib-leftie like me can use it. Thank you Mr Zookerberg for making a Facebook just for me.

Or you may be in a similar situation, and if you're in a situation like That, there's only one thing you can do:
Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink, . . . you Can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant", and walk out.
You know, if one person, just one person, does it, they may think he's Really sick and they won't take him.
And if two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and They won't take either of them.
And if three people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin' in, singin' A bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? They may think it's an Organization!
And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day . . . Walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? Friends, They may think it's a MOVEMENT, and that's what it is: THE ALICE'S RESTAURANT ANTI-MASSACREE MOVEMENT! . . . and all you gotta do to join is to Sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar.

Put it this way... you're 44. You and your wife have well-paying jobs and are raising a son. Then both of you become unemployable. Now imagine two adults living the rest of their lives, plus putting a kid through college on a $73,500 one-time payout. I don't think so.
I remember work. (I'm retired now). Windows 98 SE was the best. It flew in 32 megs of RAM, and it worked just fine. The only problem was when a machine died and I inherited a machine that had been used by a co-op student. I knew how to get rid if standard stuff like RealPlayer, etc. But there was so much crap (toolbars, email emoticons, etc) installed by the student that I gave up and asked IT to blow away the OS, and give me a fresh install. After that it ran fine again.
You are a fucking idiot to even compare the two because you obviously don't understand the difference. But being from Arizona, I am sure you understand idiocy all too well.
