I guess they could use a meta-package for that.
It would also be nice if they made a way so that you could have it fairly simple and not install all the stuff you don't need.
Seriously.
Why can't MS just make an OS which isn't so prone to it?
If they somehow made Vista impervious (without a built in addon or tool) do you think people would be mad at them for killing the competition?
Microsoft steals the lucrative business of fixing Microsofts mistakes. Spyware manufacturers also make money off of Microsofts mistakes.
Just some food for thought.
What inventions do slashdoters think are too important not to share?
Those related to health, medicine included. If you can't trust closed source software there is no way you can trust closed source food or medicine. If I gave you a clear liqiud and said "Here, drink this". Would you? I wouldn't. I would first ask what it was. If the provider refused to say what the liquid was he has something to hide, and if its worth hiding its probobly not worth ingesting.
I have never heard of there being a problem with too many music drivers in the Linux kernel....Or any music drivers in the Linux kernel....In fact, I have never heard of music drivers at all
well I call wire, batteries, PCBs, motors, LEDs, solder, free electrons, processes controlling elecron movement, movement of electrons, and manufacturing and using electronic components.
Parent should not be modded flamebait. One license would work if everyone was the same, but we're not. Different developers and different software projects need different licenses. Many Linux newbies think that there should be one distro. Anyone who knows about GNU/Linux knows that this would not be good. I suppose we want one language now to. (yes I get the reference)

Ron Paul is a racist loon with no chance of winning.
I mean think about it folks, Christmas is but a few days away and sales of "red hat" are surging.
Around here, Pacifica is on FM.

I know this is a troll, but the truth is, I don't. I use GNU/Linux. I'm just stating my opinion.
Parent does have a point.
Netscape did something, anti-spyware software just fixes MS's mistakes.
There is a differnce.
Exactly!
An anti-spyware company suing MS for getting their act together would be the same as a spyware company suing MS.
Yep. The only posibility of MS winning this one is if they're program works flawlessly, which it won't.

Sexual attraction is unconcious.
No one says "I think I'll be attracted to this person"...it just happens.
I found your post flamebate as well as unfounded.
Well he'd better go and catch it.
Now, instead of "Write Your Congressman!" are we supposed to call MS Tech Support?
Interesting observation, you usualy have just as much luck trying to get anything out of either of them.

Also, a tangent, I think an online wikpidia like open cooking database would be a cool project.

shouldn't that be underlords?
Because M$ could pay the difference.
no it depends on wether or not you code and therefor start counting with zero.

If it runs Linux.
It would actualy give more reason to stop driving SUVs. The more the ozone dies the worse. The ozone is already dieing enough on its own.
This item is very old, I remember it from last summer or spring. It is however, a very awesome achievement.

Under GPL you need only distribute the source to those who you ditribute the binary. Also, charging for sharing would go completely against the GPL.
