[CLUE-Tech] GPL loopholes

[Joe Linux]

My friend bought a new Sony system with XP pre-installed, after i failed 
to convince him that Linux was a very viable OS.  One of his primary 
concerns was that he couldn't run AOL with Linux.  But that's aside the 
point.

I brought "The Last Express" game over for him to try out on his now 
allegedly capable computer.  The game failed to save properly. So it was 
essentially unplayable.    This was very disappointing as I feel The 
Last Express is a particularly well crafted game.  Obviously there are 
many problems with M$ and its compatibility with software that is 
supposed to run on it.
