Now we come to a built-in feature Windows and Mac don't offer: a little button that allows OEone tech support to log into your computer directly and fix things remotely. CLICK! and they have access -- and they only have access when you do that CLICK! instead of owning a permanent backdoor into your computer. Linux sure is nice, eh?
Actually, Windows XP does include this exact feature. You can get help directly from Microsoft, or even from a friend who also uses XP. I really like the feature, and it works great. But it's not something exclusive to the OEone computer.
