Windows, + gene? In the same sentence or on common dirt? Doesn't happen 
and I thought I was famous to the coco crowd as being allergic to 
windows. Guess I don't make enough noise about it.

Not on any real estate I own. If I obtain a windows machine, its because 
its hardware is usable for a machine control job. Windows is simply 
unusable.

It (used windows hardware) gets the drive formatted to ext4 and a full 
blown linux install on it, leaving no trace of windows on it, usually by 
the next day.
