[dms-discuss] why I prefer Windows over Linux

So I bought a nice computer to run the projector
at Ali's Surplus stuff.

I installed windows XP on it, did all the updates,
installed a legal copy of Office, Irfanview, VLC,
Window Powerpoint viewer, etc, etc.  Everything
works great.  No problem.

I install a 1Tb hard drive and leave about 500Gb
for linux.  I install Ubuntu 14.04 on the remaining
500Gb.  It installs fine. Except that the Grub boot
loader has set Ubuntu as the default operating system.

I waste about 5 hours trying to set Windows XP as
the default OS to boot.  I am exquisitely unsuccessful.
I wished I'd never even considered a dual-boot option
as XP did everything we needed.
