    The only support I’ve ever been given with Windows was “go in this menu, click this button” or “open the Run dialog, type regedit, and change SOME_RANDOM_REGISTRY_KEY from 1 to 0.” And editing the registry happened more and more when I left 7 for 8. What’s the difference between typing a bash command and clicking some button in some menu?

      Shrug, I dont know man… personally, last time I had to dig into regedit was on…i think win98? maybe xp? and that was under guidance of the tech support I was on the phone with… the why I long since forgot, I just remember them telling me it was okay and as long as I listened nothing would get broken (and that their thing would be unbroken)
