He didn't need to install that many distro's to find out there's no support for his card. One distro would have been sufficient. (13 OS's installed in one day, this guy defenately needs to look for a new job outside the IT business). He seems not to understand the basics of Linux and even not windows. What he calls "works in win95" I would call "some functions are working in win95" and would probable be not sufficient for all users either. Anyways, don't get influenced by people who hardly know how a compute works and try to write something about it on the net influencing other people with their frustrations. Both windows and Linux have their advantages and disadvantages. It's up to the user to deside whether the advantages are more important than the disadvantages. regards, Marcel
