Who Will Join Microsoft in the Portal Wars?

    For all we know, one of Microsoft's "Security Patches" could also been the NSA's security patch too.

    hmm... when I got my Dell my homepage was a Gentoo live cd :-)

    I never used the copy of windows this came with but I did use the license key to a fresh install.

    Using the pre-installed windows from Dell is just stupid. It's loaded down with trialware, adware, spyware, annoyanceware and a few others I dare not mention. The only sane thing to do is scratch it and start over.
