       installing programs on windows is a dream! simply google the name of the program you want to install, find the link that looks like it's the real one, download the provided .exe file, deselect the bing toolbar, deselect the MSN homepage thing, deselect PC Pro Cleaner Xtreme, scroll to the bottom of the EULA and click "agree", close the old version you had running that causes abort/retry/ignore permission error prompts to appear, uncheck "add to start menu" and "create an icon on my desktop" and "automatically launch at startup", close the prompt for the newsletter, and you're done!

       ACTUALLY LYNNE you're wrong the modern way to install apps on windows is to use the store. they have ten different apps and only seven of them have ads (the other three cost five bucks)

       @lynnesbian like I’m more of a fan of FreeBSD because of the ports tree but every NetBSD user or developer Ive met has like transcendent positivity and Ive never heard them complain and it actually creeps me out
