I agree. I fdisk the hard drive of every new machine I acquire before I even boot it. OEM OS installs suck. I don't care if Dell starts shipping MacPC-OS99(xli! ooooh!) on it's machines ( or if it doesn't.)
How many of you really want to see Grandma (or your idiot boss) using Linux anyway? How much fun would Linux be if your girlfriend though it was interesting? Pigs eat slop... Golden Retrievers eat their own turds... PT Barnum's sucker-born-every-minute uses Windows. Everything is as it should be.
I recently placed two conductive wires into the water in my toilet. I connected the wires to a Fluke multimeter and then passed the collected voltage data to my PC. Don't waste time with monkeys and typewriters or analysis of PI, people! I found a detailed description of how to create controled nuclear fusion embedded in my collected data! Don't believe me? Hey, would I lie?
let me explain this to you... (I speak for many) I refuse to learn Ruby or Python because no one will ever ask me about it in a job interview. Acquiring I.T. skills isn't a hobby for most of us, it's a necessary evil. How many languages do we need anyway? "hey baby, i wrote a love poem to you... in Ruby!". It's sad, really.
No I'm not concerned at all. When my refrigerator starts replacing my food with AOL rations I'll worry. You people should go outside for a nice walk and some fresh air. I mean, who turned on your PC in the first place?
