Unfortunately he decided that he likes IE best because thats what he was used to using at home.

    Thats the problem though. They look to another protection provider that has/dose/will do the same thing within the same broken ecosystem rather change ecosystems. The windows ecosystem has lots of holes exploits and problems that should not of been there in the first place, which the maker has a vested interest in not fixing unless they absolute must, so they can sell you another version of it later, supposedly without those wholes (usually simply replaced with another set of them for the same reason). When what the need to do is change to a better ecosystem.

    For example; the in the linux ecosystem this does not happen. the code is viewable and editable by anyone. eveyone can see your mistakes and anyone can fix them. You have a vested interest then in having the best code possible because if you don't someone will simply fork it and leave you sans costomers see open office now replaced by libraoffice.

    or you can go the Apple route and lock people out of control of their own devices, and only allow paying developers to write for their systems and only allow them to write in a certain way, then vet the work of paying developers and only allow in what they feel like.

    both of those modals work (the second way is one i despise personally but i have to admit it works far better then the windows way, i prefer the open linux way most ofthe time though)

    an easy way around it is to go to a the dump and over to the electronic drop point and look at the back of all the old computer and write down the install keys grab a OEM disk and your off with more pseudo-ligit keys than you could ever want for what ever versions of windows you want.

    while your at it grab any ram and hard drives, and bluray drives/whatever other components you are in need of or are worth salvaging and seeing if they work. check the hard drives to see if they are still in working order, then run a file shredder on everything and overwrite the whole drive then format it. after a couple dump runs like this you have more components then you could ever use.
