    Just came across this article:

    http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/331579_windowsupdates14.html

    Now Microsoft can update your Windows WITHOUT even warning you or asking you. They won't even tell you what they "updated". This is absolutely ridiculous and another example of the totalitarian tiptoe.

    A few months ago I was using Linux for about 5 month......I bought a new PC that had Windows that I am using now, simply because it works as it is and can't be arsed installing and configuring Linux again....but I think I might....this is pissing me off....
