While this has been answered ad nauseam, why don't you learn to NOT be a
condescending pissant when replying to these particular situations by
pasting the same crappy answer over and over again?

First of all, he simply asked a question, and a simple NO answer is good
enough with maybe the why's to it. One also DOES NOT have to read the EULA
TO AGREE TO IT, SO TO SAY "HE HAD TO HAVE READ" IS UTTER TALKING DOWN TO
THIS PERSON. So there is no knowing "PERFECTLY WELL, or "No, of course not.
But you already knew this, didn't you?", or he wouldn't have asked (where's
your logic while I am condescending?)!!

Get grip on being nice some time Bruce, and remove some the condescending
bullshėt from your copy jobs and simply explain why things do and don't work
with Windows, instead of treating others like potential criminals!!
