Random Microsoft vent/groan: When one does Control-Alt-Delete ...
and it
<br>
takes quite a while to respond ... and when it finally does, it
gives some
<br>
dialog about not being able to give you that selection (lack of
<br>
resources or something unavailable or whatever the hell its
"excuse"
<br>
was). And, nope, not tryin' to solve that one ... hell no. Run
like
<br>
hell to Linux! :-) Besides, this wouldn't be the place to try in
solve
<br>
some Microsoft cr*p (other than avoiding it and using Linux).

Then I replied:<br>
Well Microsoft has touched it and stained it forever. You had<br>
better have some brilliant security technician look at the project<br>
because Microslut is capturing the information from Windows users<br>
and selling it to people to decide what you want to spend money on.<br>
So since it has been in the abode of evil can it come out<br>
un-bugged? I think the chances are about even that it either<br>
joins you to the Microsoft User information base or that<br>
your Ubuntu installation is pure. I am not that security<br>
technician by any means but find a Linux Users Group<br>
in your general vicinity and see if they can offer<br>
consultation.<br>
<br>
Also what registration does Microsoft require if any? <br>
End of my reply to Dreamer.<br>
<br>
Are my concerns over-blown and totally paranoid?<br>
