What happened to the "Pandora cannot run Windows or Wine" thread? Used to be stickied for just this reason.
It's still linked in the FAQ. I unstickied it because as much as it is important information for new users, so are dozens of other facts. Rather than have dozens of stickies (which nobody would read), we have one sticky with links to everything you need to know (which nobody reads). It's called the "Pandora Information Index", it's the only sticky, and it says "Read This First". If a new user isn't going to give that a cursory glance before asking a question, then their question is inevitable. If they don't bother reading the one sticky that has all the answers, then "More stickies" certainly isn't the answer.
