Windows recommends scanning this file for possible malicious components such as spyware and viruses.
Authorize?


Even I say Windows doesn't suck that bad. [Y/y]

Opera doesn't even want to install on my computer for some reason.

It gets stuck at "Preparing to install".

It looks like it's still running, but I doubt it would after 10 minutes and the fact that my courser turns into the loading thing when I point it on the installer. psyduck;
I just got a message saying the install server wasn't responding. psyduck;

You can reinstall Windows, though it's always wiser to partition it... psyduck;

There's bound to be some distro of Linux you like. If not, go for something like Solaris or some version of BSD.

Try Avant. Then move on to something like K-Meleon. psyduck;

So If I don't like linux, I lose all my files? No.  powerofone;

I used Ubuntu for a good while, and I still do off and on, but it just didn't seem practical.  Everything felt like a chore, and it didn't do anything I couldn't do easier with Windows.  I've never had any problems with Windows, so I see no reason to switch right now.  psyduck;

What's the difference between Avant/K-Melon and and why should I use them over Firefox/Opera? psyduck;

Because Firefox sucks, and apparently, Opera hates your OS. psyduck;

Why does Firefox suck?

And how does Opera hate my OS when there's someone else using Opera with my OS here?

I don't know why anyone would use Solaris.
How many common apps support it?
