Then get a Dell or other preloaded computer that the manufacturer has already paid the MPAA a tax to let you legally use it...But I don't see what everyone hates about the terminal - it's a very fast way of doing things... Microsoft even recently released a new terminal for Windows (PowerShell)

Actually, there are no properietary drivers for my Radeon 7500. And the open source ones have been blacklisted and now no longer support acceleration ootb. My wireless appeared as a restricted driver in 7.10 but now I gotta use NDISWRAPPER.

f**k that. If you can't execute 2 console commands, you deserve to pay 110 bucks.
