,----[ Quote ]
| One of the reasons Microsoft Windows frustrates so many people is its list

| Although I might not know about all of Linux's unexpected behaviors -- and
| it does have them -- they occur less frequently, and often with
| transparency. With Windows, I have to trust Microsoft. And let me say,
| I do trust Microsoft the majority of the time. It's just that I have no
| way of knowing what other surprises lurk for me, and how they affect my
| overall security risk. And if I find a feature I don't want, can I
| easily turn it off?
