| 9 | Booting Windows XP and running CHKDSK. |
| 8 | Defragmenting /usr/lib so that Mono can run more efficiently. |
| 7 | Converting your /var partition from ext3 to FAT-16. |
| 6 | Drawing the Windows “flying folders” in the background. |

| 4 | Installing IPX/SPX for Linux and registering with any eDirectory servers it can find. |
| 3 | Launching Python for Windows to run the old version of rug that didn’t suck (as badly). |
| 2 | Upgrading the TCP/IP stack on your computer to support Web 2.0. |
