AFAIC, nothing, I was just pointing out that the facility was not
"obviously" "only available" through Linux as claimed.

I'll leave you to work out the implications of the double negative in
the post I quoted.

For a couple of years now I haven't had to configure anything when
installing Linux. It just works. Yes, there are some minor glitches from
time to time. I have had to get an updated printer driver package directly
from HP when the one coming with the distro is too old. I have had to do
some config to get my Lightscribe drive to work, but that's about it.

When I installed Debian on my laptop in 1999 on the other hand.....now
that took a /lot/ of time! :)

Just one comment: you can't lose (not loose) 5 times the amount of time
available in total. Anything more than 100% is impossible and a lie. Idiot.

BTW, learn to type/spell.

That's easy. In one day with windows you can cause enough disasters that
it takes 4 days to fix them.

'To err is human, but to really foul things up takes a computer' :)

I don't think that's exclusive to Windows...
