No, if you weren't "involved in the scene" and only had the word of the person at the store then you have no idea what an iGPU is, let alone why they weren't up to the task of running the very thing it was sold with.

You were a teenager in a time where teenagers average tech knowledge was much higher than before. That is not the same as someone who just learnt they now need one of those computer things for work. Not everyone had someone near them who could explain it to them. Blaming them for not knowing the intricacies of the machines is ridiculous. It was pure greed by Microsoft and the manufacturers.

I think Windows === Instant Coffee is perfect here

No, it was mostly the manufacturers fault for implying that their machine would run the operating system it shipped with well. Well that and Microsoft's fault for strong arming them to push Vista on machines that weren't going to run it well.

It is essentially an equivalence gate: A==B.

At least one for each manufacturer that uses it under the hood in a Tivo-like manner

I moved to prism launcher a while ago now and it is by far the best I've used. Great to see it continuing to develop.

I'd never heard of this before. Installed! Runs remarkably well and way better than bedrock garbage.

This is the main thing that put me off them too. Not going to use some desktop app to allow my server to send email on my behalf. I use Zoho mail now and while it isn't perfect it does what I need.

Inbox was by far the best thing Google have done with email. Still waiting on features they had unique to that app.

I really want the Dolphin but I definitely am in no way near being able to afford it yet.
