[CLUE-Talk] Windows XP Shows the Direction Microsoft is Going

[bof]

This is a link to an interesting article that should be required reading 
for everyone buying a computer with MS XP installed on it.

The article discusses XP's hidden connections, reasons for so many bugs 
(with maybe a little paranoia), implications for future 
contracts/EULA's, the flaws of the registry concept, and MS's attitude 
towards privacy, as well as an explanation of some of the future 
business practices of Microsoft as evidenced by XP. It's apparent from 
the article that MS has learned nothing from the DOJ suit, other than 
that they can take on the US government and win.

I'm posting it because I believe that one must know their enemy in order 
to combat him and because it might be useful as arguments in support of 
converting a business to Linux.

BOF
