    I've got sick on blue from Windows and OS X, Ubuntu's theme was liberating when I first set eyes on in and until the Darkroom theme came along I never really felt the need to change it.

    I suspect the fault is the lack of an operational definition to what Foolishness and Wisdom is, and the faulty assumption that they are polar states of being:

    I feel wise to those that try to fool me, yet I feel foolish to those that try to put their wisdom upon me.

    Oh, I didn't do it because things stopped working, I did it because for some mysterious reason everything ran faster in the first couple weeks. Then when I started using Ubuntu I was shocked to find I didn't have to reinstall to get this refreshing boost in responsiveness all over again.

    Back in "the day" when I still regularly used Windows, I made it a habit to reinstall Windows at least once a month. What I really did towards the end was just archive the entire Windows/Program Files/Documents directories in Ubuntu and restore them as needed.

    We could just start naming the articles "Microsoft still exists" and the content could be "Microsoft is still out there doing something and it's that time of day to bash them for it".

    I'm quite happy with this idea, myself, for I find bashing Microsoft regularly to be a healthy practice. Everyone should do it and most people probably do in their own privacy.

    I understand some people may need some 'stimulation support' with unclothed Firefox logos and centerfolds of penguins and free software ganging up mercilessly on bound bits of Windows and Photoshop. I, personally, have no need of these devices and will happily sneak a Microsoft bash in when no one's looking. Sometimes I do it out in the open, but only in places I'm sure nobody knows me.

    Maybe people don't write exploits until they've seen the issues that Microsoft are patching.

    And maybe the fact that they have to patch is necessary because someone already discovered the vulnerability.
