Seriously, Microsoft's patent portfolio is not that small. I really doubt that Free Software applications only infringe 235 of it's patents. And Microsoft also infringes patents owned my Free Software companies and advocates. What else is new? The patent system is flawed and everyone know it - they just pretend not to.

People actually don't care what they're using, if it gets the job done. The problem with installing Mozilla Firefox, VLC, Winamp, etc., it that, if they'll have to format their PC again, they will not bother to reinstall all that software again, unless someone will do it for them. They just don't care.

Just don't forget to buy another Windows license, if you plan to use this on another computer.
Damn kids with their non-commercial file sharing and anti-DRM legislation.
And will the developers move to Outer Elbonia too? I doub it. It's very hard to live in a mud country with computers made of cardboard.

And I bet the source of the attack will be Iran. Nice strategy.

Yeah, I have one of those old AMD cards. It was called Sound Blaster Live!.
How about not using languages that allow buffer overflows?

Try Nvu, it's good enough.
Probably they'll just stick a Bacterial DVD on it.
Maybe they're just bad drivers.
Know how to install Linux-from-scratch without looking at the documentation.
