Perhaps - but since PC's these days are generally warrantied to run Windows,
if that happened, back to the store for a return, eh?  Some machines are
even sold with Windows preloaded, if you can believe it - I think a retailer
would have a hard time claiming that a machine that was preloaded with
Windows and that Windows couldn't run for more then 5 minutes on, wasn't a
canidate for a warranty return!

Of course, we ARE assuming the OP used NEW hardware, not some crappy, grungy
5 year old discard PC, right?

Because if that was the case, then he got what he deserved, eh?
