Oh well

Oh well , go ask Microsoft about all the built in trojan and spyware that infests Windows Vista as it is shipped from the factory!

Who needs net nasties , when M$ supplies it for the price of a new latest and greatest PC box with next gen cpu's and super fast graphic cards , and the cost of of the newest OS on offer from Redmond !

Although , undoubtedly many of the smarter users will undoubtedly find a ways to disinfect the operating system of the factory installed unwanted phone home spy ware extras , or have they already done so with the simple basic hacking tools freely available on the world wide net?

Or will they just install clean Open Source , the viral proof OS instead , that be the question , and thus have the last laugh ?
