Why didn't I try Linux long ago?  :(

Isn't MS the only one who pulls this crap for updates?

Steve Ballmer describes M$ as having a "rough Feel".

Oh no...What M$ feels like to me is that cheap toilet paper schools used, it's slick, slides out of the cracks and fails to do the job.

I figured they would do something like this.  
 
This is BULL&^#@.  It seems clear to me that MS interprets "My Computer" as "Microsoft's Computer."  

I'm glad I'm fluent in Linux.
