Why would I give a damn if I already BOUGHT this computer. The final price was $400. That's for the computer AND monitor. The montior was about $150, so the computer was only $250.

So I should replace what my whole family likes and knows how to use for something that no one I know has ever heard of or used? Ok.

Thus, your claim that about cost is
invalid.
See my first argument.

builds their computer from scratch, windows
is a far more expensive approach.
Except I DON'T build computers from scratch, I go to the store and buy one.

The final price was $300. Nothing was added but the mandatory $0.08 per dollar set in place by the government.

It is amazing how often the cost of
windows is forgotten about whenever someone
purchases a new computer.You just need to
bare in mind that every little feature adds
up to give you the final cost that you pay.
Who cares? Windows 7 Home Premium is $119. So all the extra features in my computer only cost $131.

before you say that you can use any program you
want, think again.
Yeah. I meant any program that
I want to use. In all my years using a Windows computer, I have never come across a program I wanted to run but couldn't because I was on a Windows.
Originally posted by p4plus2I may try to aim support at
Windows when I code, but in the end I only test
mainly on Linux, and am not that focused on the
bugs triggered only on windows.
Well, prepare for people to bitch about it when you release a program that doesn't work on Windows. The computer that MOST PEOPLE have.
There.
