Personally, I just think it's Windows tired of doing the same old thing <grin>.
If it is something deliberate on Windows part, it certainly is more subtle than what happened soon after the release of OS/2 v. 2 by IBM back in...'92. At the time, OS/2 would run DOS, Windows, and native OS/2 apps. Scant weeks after the release, MS revved 3.1 to 3.11. This added peer-to-peer networking...and any apps written for 3.11 would, um, no longer run under OS/2.
Ah, the good old days, when things were so straightforward.
I'm just wondering if it's not something associated with it being a laptop I'm installing onto. Linux has a reputation for being particularly picky about the hardware it runs on, especially laptops.
