GAMING ON PC = WINDOWS as for the VMware idea earlier. running a game on a VM is a terrible idea. You don't get the benefits of the awesome video card that guy has. Becuase VM emulates a fairly basic card. Run linux in a VM, but they you lose all the cool stuff you can do with ur hardware, because ur not accessing ur hardware. ur accessing VMware hardware....but by all means load up a free copy of server and play with Linux. it'll never pick up market share if ppl don't use it.

Ok, how bout this for a reason why not then..... USB 2.0 has throughtput of 480Mbit/s, right? Well, lets say you get have 6 usb ports on ur rig. they all share that on the internal hub. Who cares if you can connect multiple cables? U can reach the limit on 1 cable. now lets say you add a whole other controller... well, at that point. good luck (just buy SCSI) I'm a NO guy. Optimize ur device, dont reengineer it. unless u r that bored

universal *SERIAL* bus....seriously, why would you bother? SATA is faster that PATA.... Serial just works better.

Open up a cmd prompt and type set you should see a variable that shows which user is logged on. that should get you started in the right direction. I think.... ?
