Hal hits a good, if not unfounded tangent in his post above.

Is there any reason the OS needs to keep records of EVERYTHING we do, every website we visit, every email in secret ultra hidden files (that even running DOS doesn't always uncover), in the registry and in other files not hidden at all?
If Microsoft actually stopped all the worrying about it's own OS, with respect to all the faults that can (and do) happen with it's OS, it would be a good system.
Take for instance, Internet Explorer, why is it that 50 Million downloads have taken place of the Firefox Browser, I would guess that these users were'nt downloading it for the sheer fun of it. [Linked Image]
A lot of people that I've spoken to all have the same story, Microsoft is good, until you have a problem with it and then they don't want to know you.
Oh and by the way, my next PC is going to be Linux based.
