Fist about your screensaver: if you had read what was in the screen where you selected the screensaver, you would have seen an option to lock screen, and require unlock to stop screensaver. So not openSUSE, you decided.

Do you know what you are saying? M$ transparent ? Can you see through what their installers do? Then please explain this transparancy: No matter whether it's the old Celeron 400 or my X2 6000, Windows installers always tell me the install is going to last for 39, 33, 23, 21, 19, 17, several minutes. Always. Try simply replacing Vista by XP. Is it transparency that floods the fora? Come on.
Any single line containing the words transparency and microsoft in one sentence is a contradiction in itself.

Your problem is, that M$ have already done something to your mind: you've started thinking like a Windows-computer. You're not asking for help, you're just making a statement, with virtually no ground. Blaming the OS for not reading.

Transparency: This Program was terminated due to a serious error, Click OK to continue.....

LOL
