The Disposable PC.

| I am pretty sure that if Microsoft wanted to 
| invest the time and money to create the most 
| secure and stable operating system, they 
| could. They donât have idiots working for 
| them. I think it is that âif you scratch my 
| back, I will scratch yours mentality.â It also 
| doesnât help that whenever a call is placed to 
| a support center or when a PC is brought into 
| a repair shop, the solution usually given by 
| the technician is to re-image Windows. If I 
| have a virus, why canât you just remove the 
| virus and I will be on my way?
| 
| I, as many of my readers, on the other hand 
| know better and choose to rely on something a 
| lot more stable and secure with (insert flavor 
| of Linux or UNIX here). Why be bothered with 
| constantly having to maintain or repair your 
| OS. Sometimes you just need things to work. 
| Maybe that is why you read stories about how 
| repair shops such as Best Buyâs will refuse 
| the repair of a computing device if you are 
| not running a version of Windows. They 
| probably donât see any money it.

| excuses for this defective and repugnant piece of garbage.
