I was not trying to argue with anyone. This confused me, and I guess I still do not understand it:

We're all computer savvy here. I have friends who are anything but computer savvy and may have Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Tagalog, Yoruba or a raft of others as their first language. We have something like 20 nationalities in our local congregation. Dublin people living in Dublin (like my family) make up about ¼ of it.

I am not sure what that would have to do with your only using a VM if you were running Windows, but okay.

My best solution would be to multiboot anything other than Windows, but never multiboot Windows.
There may be someone with a solution that works better, but that is the best solution I have come up with. (If you cannot solve the problem, at least isolate it as a work-around.)

I don't even know what this thread is about any more.

Are you dual booting, or is this second machine "dedicated to windoze"???

It's too early in the morning for Whiskey.
