Isn’t that the way drug dealers work too? “Come on, kid, try it, the first one’s free…”

It makes one look at these “donations” of software from Microsoft in a somewhat different light.

This is such BS. If you use a Linux Live CD you don’t even need a hard drive in the computer. And Linux Live is FREE.

I would go a step further, we’re talking about China here, I would force an specific OS upon people.
