Oh Stuart, and another think I wanted to say was I have had a long term wish-list item. I would like to be able to pick what I want, have it burned onto an eprom built into my PC. When I want an upgrade, I select what I want and have it burn into the eprom again. No virus, no Trojans, no whatever. Instant booking of YOUR system. It would happen in much the same way that you can update your bios by flash-upgrades. Users control it and software never can.

An Operating System is the software layer between the hardware and applications. I want an Operating System, pure and simple, not a combination of operating system and application suite. I want to decide what applications I need, not have them bundled. If I want contact management, calendaring, mail, web browsing, media player etc, etc, I will install the programs that I want to use for these applications - they are NOT operating system functions and I object to paying for Mircosoft's versions of these applications when I buy their operating system. How much cheaper would a WIndows Licence be if it wasn't bundled with all these other applications? -- Stuart On 20 Mar 2009 at 14:48, Drew Wutka wrote: > didn't do a lot on top of being a Windows OS.
