    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So in addition to volunteering to do the work yourself, perhaps you
could convince someone who is competent to become interested in your
problem if you paid them to work on it.  As it is, you come across as
someone who wants others to solve your problems for you for free.

Also, you might have a little more success actually getting help from
the "UNIXen" if you spent a little less time telling them how much
they suck and how their software "pollutes" your pristine Windows
system.
