    From Orbitman@9:91/8 to All on Tue Jun 17 18:52:00 2014
    <being rant>
    Good grief...sometime I absolutely HATE Windows....ANY version of it.

    My coworkers like to ask me to clean their systems up after they pollute them with all kinds a crap-ware.

    Right now, I'm working on a Dell system with Win 7 that has/had all kinds of toolbars, download managers and other assorted stuff on it. Makes me want to start drinking heavily :/

    I'm getting there...but about ready to just do a system restore on it.

    Soooooo sllllooooooooowwww....

    Just gotta love linux :)

    It is the user who pollutes them, not the OS itself.

    I sure don't. Not as a desktop OS. I run windows
    desktop's and have no virus, spyware, crapware, etc. They also
    run fast as anything.

    Oh, I am well aware of this :) I was just venting a bit <g>

    I love it as a desktop system. All my systems run linux except for one. It
    has Win7 and has no problems. Before I started using linux every day I used Windows. I've never had a problem with any version of Windows. All were
    virus free because I took/take care of it.

    Other folks don't bother to READ the screen when an OK button pops up...they just click it...then wonder why they have all that ride-along crapware on
    their system.
