I got a worm in my home network. New enough that there were no anti-removal tools out yet. I learned through install process that didn't get rid of it either. By the time I learned the method to remove the worm from the hd I had installed XP enough times that Microsucks blacked balled not one but two legal copies of the OS. I won't buy another copy of it to be faced with this same rip off down the line yet again. Nor will I worry about Microsucks efforts to catch those they think are getting a free ride on cracked software. I dropped the whole mess in favor of Ubuntu Linux and never returned to Winblows. Know what? I am far happier with the choice and surfing is once again a pleasure and not a guarded experience. …and here is another with simular experiences that is a lost customer to Microsucks.

Since I could not locate the XP CD that my customer purchased (yes, she paid good money for this crap) , I attempted to reinstall from another copy. Apon trying to activate the CD The installation code was refused by Microsoft. There was no way to contact Microsoft to resolve the problem. Rather than using the XP hack that is commonly available on the Internet, I suggested SuSE Linux to my customer. My customer now has an operating system that provides everything she needs for what she does on the web without all of the annoyances. If she is forced into being a punter sometime in the future, then the XP hack may become an option. Micro$oft can screw people only so many times before they get angry.
