I sold my copy on eBay yesterday. Un-opened (note: I didn't pay for it so I didn't lose anything on the sale). I haven't heard many good things about it since it's release, but to be fair... we all know how those first releases go. None-the-less, I have to do it. I have to say it, because someone always does, and this time it'll be me. If you aren't a gamer. Switch to a Linux distro. Use OpenOffice. If your stuck on Outlook, try Evolution. The flavor of the day is Ubuntu... but I've been with SuSE since the early days. Go on. Take the plunge, my 80 year old father uses it, so know one can convince me that it's not desktop ready. Trust me, my father is the ultimate usability tester.
