Not really my own experience, it took me 10 minutes just to find the way to boot on a usb keys on my 5 year old computer ( to reinstall it ). The interface is rather bad, first you need to plug the key, see how to enter the BIOS (not displayed, so I tried suppr, f2, f10, etc, I think it was Suppr), then make sure that say "boot on harddrive" is first ( that's the default ) and then select the order of the hard drives ( as I have 2 of them ), with my usb key being one of them. And of course, since that's a setting, do not forget to save and exit. While that's not hard, I do think that qualify as "extra move", and given the people coming to my LUG for help, I think that my motherboard is not a exception. > Of course the actions by Microsoft are against anti-trust law in > the US and in Europe grossly violate the rule against tying of > software and hardware.

In fact, even now, since people have time to complain, they can spend time to do it. -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
