I've been reading reviews on NewEgg.com.  It started before I bought my new 
setup, but now I guess I'm just doing it to keep myself informed.  Anyway, 
this one made me laugh.  I found it especially funny, because he even rates 
his own proficiency: "Tech Level: high."

Reviewing Windows 7 64-bit:

Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Title: Doesnt overclock
Pros: No pro Windows doesnt overclock
Cons: It wont overclock,I tried on my double core. It wont boot and my 
computer is very loud and shuts off quickly after raising the CPU number on 
blue screen.
Other Thoughts: Linux is better, go buy it

  You can buy a linux distro. What's the problem?

Quite apart from the fact that buying a box of CDs might be quite a lot 
faster than waiting for them to download, if you buy this stuff in a box 
you often get a printed manual and telephone support.

How useful these are probably varies by which distro you bought. ;-)

(I'd imagine the printed manual is damned handy while you're trying to 
get the thing to install...)
