As a windummy converting to Linux, I had by use of micoshaft fears
and bad experienced instilled in me, kept rebooting
after every software install,
and sudo everything. It took me may be a year (may be longer) to
be fully weaned off the 'sudo everytime' idea.
These days, I switch ON once, switch OFF in the evening to save
energy.

Further, I contend that its the WINDUMMY VETERANS with their
mumbo jumbo talk thats now holding up Linux adoption within companies.
Their PCs need to be deleted and moved over to Linux
to save companies and the vast resources spent to maintain
these WINDUMMY VETERANS.

I'm sure most WINDUMMY virus, malware, spyware and trojans
are ready to - after all, more are released per day
than all the engineers from all of the Micoshaft Campus and
all of the Micoshaft Partners, and all of the Micoshaft Anti-Virus
software companies can fix per day.
