I bet that'll disappear before I can get home and load it onto my virtual machine.



"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

Future proofing. I didn't say I was going to use it, did I?

There are some that want to be aware of alternative OSes, and others that help those less computer-literate.

Well, I tried it, but the Enterprise version you can download as a trial doesn't appear to allow you to install Windows Media Center, so it's a no-go.
