This is the type of bullshit, lies and slander to which I was earlier
referring. Roy Schestowitz is effectively accusing MS of employing SW to damage
people's hardware. This is not "free speech", it's the ramblings of a

& more people off migrating into what they must perceive as a nutball
community.
