Hey PC guys....

@Briz, I think the reason it doesn't follow your model is it's flawed and shows far too much of "Glenn Beck/Fox" influence on your knowledge/understanding of Europe
Most of us dont have restrictive union practices for example !!!!

Haha, not Fox, but i may be drawing a bit too much on the Scandinavian model

^ There are all the options imaginable in Scnaindavioan countries, just like most of Europe.
The "social medicine" and "unemployment benefits" are ADDITIONS
Something Mr B never quite manages to grasp in his anti socialist/communist rants !!!
You can spend your high income on private if you want.

I like your discussions .
But the Scandinavian model is more strict than other europeans and the US. Denmark for an example is the country with the highest taxation in the world. But the state pays for all health expenses (except most cosmetical and dental when over 18).
If your unemployed you will get an monthly payment, enough to cover almost all expenses (House, car, food etc.)
All education is free (except barber/hairdresser), and all over 18 can receive a monthly payment to make up for hours one can't work. (ei. The state pays you for studying).
When one is over 63, and don't feel like working no more, the state pays for your retirement (roughly the same amount as when studying) until you die.

All of this are what you can call "optional extras" but all pays to it, also if you don't want to use it.
This is what Fox would call communism (but is far from it), as it limits your personal spending amount, with 37-70% of your income.

But most of us Danes loves it, and we are proud of being the country with the lowest difference between poor and rich

yes I see how you mean now.

BUT, I can then chose to go private on all the things mentioned -- something Beck never quite understands ( or as we know likely DOES but wont help his cause )

The only "limit" is a financial demand. ALL the rest is freedom

hey politics is easier to discuss than "PC or Mac" - less contentious

^ you can still create your own scheme with any wacky images and colours you want to
It's all still there jcp .... but we have to ask WHY IS it that important to have your favourite shade of pink on your window surround ?

How do I get to it?? All I see are the entire schemes! It puts a crimp on my pink palace design

Window frame , dead easy . Right click on desktop and select Personalize.
Button at bottom of the Window Color and Appearance. Pink is already setup as a selection

THEN if you click on advanced settings you get the old interface.

Update: I have been running 100% windows 7 for a couple months now and I love it. I'm kicking myself for not getting a more powerful computer for the same price!
