It doesn't mention the indexing program (which goes through your
entire HDD). It attempts to contact Microsoft for who knows what
purpose.. And they've screwed around with Explorer search so you
practically need to use it.


I have two applications that haven't been ported to Linux, so I still have
a Windows XP partition on one of my boxes. Before booting into it, I
disable the wifi tranceiver. Anthing I need to download for use in
Windows gets downloaded with Linux. It's bad enough that you can't buy a
new (non-Apple) personal computer without Vista, but I can't believe that
people are actually paying to install this bloated pile of spyware and DRM.
