Okay. I've been patient with Windows 8.1 after a catastrophic HD failure and inability to find my Windows 7 installer... until I'd forked over the bills for the disc, etc etc...
And apparently MikeyShaft doesn't like folks building their own computers or daring to "upgrade" without being a bleeding edge OEM consumer.
My drivers are a mess because apparently Plug-and-play is no longer a thing: anything that depended on MS drivers is pretty much dead in the water, like a MIDI Keyboard Controller, to try to do some electronic music, for example.
Thus, as soon as I get an extra HD RAID'ed into my box, I'm Dual booting Ubuntu Studio 14.xx. Sunk cost fallacy and all, I've got too many things I've heard don't play well with WINE that do work on Win 8.1...
So. Yeah.
