If you think Windows Vista was bad, and Windows 7 sucked, then check this out! And mind you I'm not a "Windows" basher at large, I just feel that they've never really been "about the consumer" but more "about the cash"....I understand most corporations using it, for it's hardware-wide compatibility, but as a personal home PC user why would you DO that to yourself? LoL!

I have not tried Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all if Wine will not give me a smooth solution), but I do hope they managed to turn the boat on this disaster of an OS. If not, I frankly do not understand how they can still entertain a customer base.

    So last day I got around to installing Vista. The last 12 hours
    have convinced me that this is arguably the worst operating system
    ever made, and booting back into F17 was bliss. I have not tried
    Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all if Wine will
    not give me a smooth solution).

    Reinstalling Grub with the F17 seems to be broken by the
    way...grub2-install throws an error. I did not record it
    unfortunately, but I  am assuming it can be fixed. If nothing
    else, it is not problematic to use an earlier version for recovery
    unless you need Grub2.

        What license?  AFAIK, none of the Windows licenses forbid running in a 
VM.
        Most versions of Windows don't make any provision for it.
        this is simply wrong

        Licensing the Windows Desktop Operating System

        For Windows operating system software licensed through retail (FPP) or 
preinstalled on a PC (OEM), Windows use
        rights are outlined in the Software License Terms that accompany the 
software. These license terms provide use
        rights to run Windows locally on the licensed device in a virtual 
operating system environment (OSE); however they
        do not provide use rights for accessing Windows running remotely in a 
virtual OSE from the licensed device, and are
        limited in other ways when compared to virtualization use rights 
provided with Windows Software Assurance, Windows
        Intune, and Windows VDA licenses acquired through Microsoft Volume 
Licensing. For example, neither FPP nor OEM
        licenses permit remote access to a Windows virtual machine (VM) running 
in a datacenter. For this, a license
        obtained through Microsoft Volume Licensing is required.
