Shoudn'd be an operating system a piece of software aimed to take full advantage of a hardware and give easy control to the user ?
Why we have here hardware companies building chipsets in a way to satisfy an operating system ?

Here in Spain there is the so called "Digital Canon" tha charges a fee for each blank CD/DVD you buy. Also they are planning to extend this canon to every piece of hardware capable of storing digital data, namely digital cameras, mp3/mp4,hd, and the like. This is extremely discriminatory and make me pay for the people that has emule all day long downloading music. Should I stop then buying from iTunes for my iPod ? I Totally dissagree.

Educating users to click or not to click is utopic. Still, one of the best and less used practices are regular backups. I have documents and data stuff in another partition, leaving C only for the operating system and installed applications. Scheduled daily incremental backups of whole partition with imaging software, and once a week a full backup deleting previous week. If I get infected,I restore yesterday's backup and in 15' I'm back in business without touching my personal data and stuff, much less time than running two or three AV to try to remove an unknown malware.
