Why would anyone take such a drastic step just to protest DRM and
Microsoft's domination of the market?
Seems a little extreme to me.
Its strange that spliffing asstroturfers employed by Micoshaft
Corporation can ride high charging $600 for each post they send to
the internet
while reality is that 20% of all windopws PCs are infected and owned
by bot net owners. Some hundred million+ PCs.
I see computer owners daily who don't have a clue. In their
estimation a computer is just another machine such as a washing
machine, cooker, sound system, whatever. - And just like any of
those machines they use it at will without engaging brain until it
goes wrong. Most haven't even heard of a trojan or a bot other than
the fable of Troy and what they sit on.
When a pikie non-tech-savvy wants a computer the first place they
think of is PC World; so off they go to get all the silver-tongued
spiel from a trained sales rip-off merchant who sells them a £900
computer with a quad-core CPU, 4GB RAM, a 500MB Direct X 10 capable
graphics card...blah...for the person to send email and do some
instant messaging on, plus a £600 5-year extended-warranty, and
utterly no information on protection other than a copy of Norton
Antivirus. It just happens that the computer has Windows installed
on it.
The pikey gets home and sets it up as instructed; making sure they
publicise their email address on all avenues available so that
people can contact them. They make sure that theym download and run
every update emailed to them by "Microsoft", and that they visit all
the helpful links supplied in their emails by people who want to
help them by giving away free holidays, money, sex, programs,
etc...Within a week their computer breaks down [from spyware and
virus infestation etc.] and they scurry back to PC World who charge
them another £100 to remove 100 maalware and 68 viruses. Later they
discover that they were supposed to upgrade Norton, and that there's
a thing called "spyware", for which PC World sell them a program for
£50 to prevent it infecting their computer. Later the pikey has
their ISP phoning up to tell them that they've exceeded the maximum
usage by sending 20GB of email in a week, so they up their usage
quota and leave the computer on 24/7 so that it can send all that
valuable information to others that it constantly sends 24/7. A week
later they go back to PC World to report that their ISP has said
that they sent another 20GB of data in a week but they only sent 3
emails and had a 2 hour instant message session with a German
prostitute who sent them emails with attachments which did nothing.
PC World charge them another £100 to remove more spyware and suggest
that they upgrade thier graphics card to a special PCI version...
And so it goes on.
Now if pikey had been educated in computers it would solve the
problem. Ask pikey what a rootkit is and they'll tell you it's a new
method of garden cultivation.
IF they'd been sold a PC with Linux on it and people had written all
those nasties for Linux then the problem would be the same. It's not
Windows that's to blaame; it's a lack of education of ****witted
individuals who don't want to learn and/or cant be bothered to find
out, combined with a sales-volume-driven PC retail industry pushing
Windows for their profit.
Generally Lusers (Linux users) know how Linux works; they have to do
so to keep it working; and it pretty much takes a degree in
computing to be able to do so. Linux is a niche market for boffins
who like fiddling with computers and know exaactly what they're
doing. (The fact that it eventually turns them into uncommunicative
knuckle-dragging nong-brained retaards is a byproduct of its use; as
can be clearly seen from a visit to COLA. Because of its popularity,
Windows is used by almost everyone from the clueless to the experts;
and it's the clueless who let the side down, as seen above.

issues and its high time a windfall tax was imposed on micoshaft for
the huge toxic computer waste it has created so that it can
be given away to open source projects to spread the more
energy efficient green open source technologies.
That's a great advert for it...
"Linux; run on rubbish by the technically-challenged."
10/10 for ingenuity and honesty.
