sebsebsebschestowitz: ok what about that? ^Nov 21 20:19
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Reefer MadnessNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Killing netbooks with HW restrictions / cheap XP until Win7Nov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Store staff misselling and being badly trained by MS (Best Buy for example)Nov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> "it comes with Windows", and the back and forth hoops required to (hopefully) get a refund of an unwanted Windows licence, where it should be shown as a chargable extra on the price, with the option to not to buy it in the first place. All under the idea that "if we sell it blank, people install illegal versions of windows", arrogantly assuming everyone WANTS to use windowsNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Windows is never free, it's included in the price and it's not an option. It can be free with catches ie to students who join particular courses, sign up to live.com etcNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> PC malware not Windows OS malwareNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> MBR overwriting, blitzing any non-Windows options / filesystems / restore discs, not install discsNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Govt sites need Active X on IE on Windows, forces users / corps to use Windows to interact with their own govt servicesNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> WGA / critical update abuseNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Do govts have a vested interest in most users being on windows so their security forces can easier spy on them with malware? Will we find out in years to come that MS got antitrust accusations dropped because they offered a blind eye to govts allowing them to spy on users?Nov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Windows malware being so common, it gives an easy excuse for all sorts of laws and regulations to be passed under the security flagNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[17:45] <ThistleWeb> Due to MS's security incomptence, people know to disable all sorts of useful features like usb / booting from usb which just adds another technical barrier to someone trying linux, being new to the idea of live cdsNov 21 20:29
schestowitz[18:36] <_Goblin> ThistleWeb: schestowitz  keeep talking two minutes I am going to the loo.Nov 21 20:29
