Windows XP is a crock of shit

I have been using windowsXP for a while now, a proper purchased, registerd version.

I love all the new features, and it is very stable.

HOWEVER, there are features in the NEW version of XP, that are out of the question, wrong, illegal, and horrible.

Here is a link to more information. for those lazy people that don't click links, here are a few things that might scare you:

*****************
In a breaking news story, some Microsoft customers have discovered this new passage in the Microsoft XP EULA (End User License Agreement, the binding contract that every Microsoft XP customer agrees to):

"You acknowledge and agree that Microsoft may automatically check the version of the Product and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the Product that will be automatically downloaded to your Workstation Computer."

This passage says, in essence, that Microsoft has the right to examine your computer's hard drive and download software onto your computer automatically, without your knowledge or explicit consent.

On reading this new language, one corporate customer said this: "The idea that Microsoft can change our software without notifying us is totally unacceptable. Any alteration to our standard configuration can only be rolled out after careful evaluation and testing. Does Microsoft have no clue?"
*****************

also this picture is scary:


i have known microsoft would do this all along, i was just waiting for it to happen. they have lost my business now, i'm sick of their shit. I'm going to use lindows, from now on.

http://www.lindows.com

the king is about to be dethroned people.

MS is definitely out of control. I didnt up grade from w2k because of the built-in big brother attitude in XP. BTW, if you ever need to reinstall XP w/new hardware you cant unless you call MS.

yeah, with the new version. with the initial corporate release of XP you didn't have to do that.

i think ms only released that because the deadline had hit, and their big money corporate customers wanted it NOW. and they didn't want to piss off the big companies with a bunch of that shit.

now that XP has been out for awhile, and has a good rep, they think that they can shove this down our throats. sorry bill, not biting that worm, i can see the hook.

oh shit, i just realized i didn't even post the damn link!

here it is:
