OK, you looked it up and found one feature you'll use. Yay!

Just because i don't know them all off the top of my head does NOT
mean i cant use them or know the differences between the 2

I know allot of you idiots settle for the basic home versions of
windows because it's what comes with youre computers.

There is is - I knew it would come out if I kept you going long

an idiot! Brilliant deduction!
