That is simply and absolutely ridiculous.  Having such a powerful
beast with so many absurd restrictions to get it to somehow work is
outrageous.  Such powerful boxes are to do intensive calculations on
servers running real operating systems, or to just do gaming using the
aberrant wannabe operating system.  Working (reliably and comfortably,
as Tony and many of us want) and Windowing are not compatible. :-)
