Windows 7 - Basic Can't Change Background?!

Yeah yeah, this is an anti-Apple blog, but when Microsoft does something as stupid as this, it deserves to be mentioned.

The new Windows 7 Basic version can't change their background.

....

Yeah, what? That is fucking ridiculous. There are some ways around it, but it's possible the exploits will either

A) Be Fixed in the final build
B) Not be permanent

Microsoft, u r dum. Change it back.
(Because they will totally hear me)

PS: I got reports that its old but its news to me
