What form me, Windows gave me a permanent nervosity when using it: "Did I save my data before launching another app or just switching to one already running? What if this thing crashes again and I can start over again?" It took me long to get rid of it and getting used to the simple fact that my Linux box does never crash and the apps quite rarely while in the Windows world abything can crash any time, even an app bringing down the rest with it.
Recently I had to use Windows again when the caps on my mobo blown up and again I started to be nervous. Finaly this Windows thing stopped working for no apparent reason. It just won't boot except for the Safe mode. I'm staring at blinking cursor and don't know what's up: no single message giving a hint! But my Linux box runs again even if it has an Abit mobo instead the old MSI. Do Windows give me what I want? No, thanks, no more. I can't take one more reinstallation in the neverending serie. I prefere to fancy a typewriter. They used to be so reliable despite the lack of userfriendlines.
Thats not going to cease. The corporations always try to make sure that it's the right group of people in the decission making. For this, every few years they organise the big show called elections. For this they owe the "independent" media to tell people what to thing and who will best represent their interrests. (their=not people's interests but corporation's interests).
I wonder whose interests this European Commission is representing. Looking at this: http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/pikta/perled/#invland it seems obvious that they work especially for the interests of USA and Japan. Great job, considering how much it costs the European tax payer!
