I agree. I could be unlucky with my particular systems. Although from
the forum there apear to be many people having install problems that sound
like Graphics driver issues. I am also mainly talking about 3D apps that,
I guess, a lot of people do not use.
Are there any statistics of actual F12 users, not just those who downloaded
the systems and installed them ? (I have test installed 5 F12 systems but use
none of them).
