Apart from price lists and just as much off-topic as most of this discussion], I have another observation here: Why is it people are ok with downloading and installing tons of additional software to turn windows into something which starts to resemble a decent operating system on the one hand, but on the other hand, this list is swamped with requests like "why doesn't FC include nvidia/mp3/flash/java/your_favorite non_free_or_otherwise_unavailable_app_here" ? I don't know the answer, just something to share with the list... David Jansen
