reason I hate windows brand computer windows: number 164

so you get windows xp installed on your spiffy new work compy, complete with dual dvd drives.
all you gotta do is pop in a dvd, right?
um, yeah, not unless you wanna BUY a plug-in that'll let you play a dvd.
no wonder leopard is the best selling mac OS evar.
cuz windows users gotta put up with this no-plug-no-play bullshit.
it's 2007!

I had this problem with my work compy. Still can't play a frickin dvd even though it comes with the software.

BS!

Yeah.

That's the trouble with spending $x00 less than you would for a Mac.

watch the snark there, snarky.

[jimbotr0n]

Snarky. Talk. Man.

No snark at all. Just true - if you spent the amount of $ equivalent Mac hardware would cost for a PC, you'd probably get a stupid DVD player app.

This is like flying some no-name airline and being mad they charge you for everything besides your seat. Its cheaper for a reason.

That's a good comparison. Except when purchase a seat on a cheaper airline you don't have to purchase anything after the fact so you can sit in it.
