I'd be more than happy to sit at the computer and use a wacom tablet instead.

I'm personally glad MS isn't going to listen to you, and actually make windows easier to use.

I can't even get the build to install. I want to use the 64bit version, but I'm getting a virtualization error. Seems fairly common, it's a problem with some bios where the build won't recognize a 64bit proc. I'll see how it goes with the new mobo I'm installing tonight. I'd really like to give this a try.

Just Virtualbox for now zoomy. I don't use a vm often enough to justify paying for one, but that may change soon too.
