Nice piece of advertising for Microsft!

I changed this discussion because I personally find some forum members aren't motivated enough to use "Only Free/Libre Software" Worried instead because "Such and such wont work with my Ipod! or my Zunes!-"
Or "I can't rip this dvd video, or that music cd... yada......yada....yada!"

So very very sad!!!

Hmm... if only the "free software" didn't have a catch (spyware, adware, viruses) but if i could find a open source site to put certain items on windows without getting that crap on my pc then i would be happy...but alas microsoft now calls my XP copy (which is genuine) ungenuine and wants me to buy a 150 american dollar program (yea i live in america but there are also other countries with "dollars")

Nice thanks but I'm not using windows anymore (except when I need some file off of there)
