Forced to Upgrade MSN (This is why I use linux)

| This is pissing me off, I am currently upgrading to MSN Live Messenger

| MSN 7.5 which is to me the best version. Instead I am forced to use something 
| I don't want to so I am going to switch to something new. Pidgin will 
| probably be my new messenger client because I am sick of MSN's shit.

It's nice to see that Microsoft annoys some many of its 'customers', who are
getting tired of hiring binaries that control what they do and when.

What the Hell Is Microsoft Doing with My Computer?

| Listen carefully. They're my computers. They're not your computers. I choose 
| to put Windows on some of them. I choose what applications go on them. I 
| choose when, and how, to upgrade them. Is that clear? Well, none of that is 
| clear to Microsoft. We now know— we don't suspect— we know that Microsoft 
| automatically updates Windows XP SP 2 systems without your knowledge or 
| permission.
