Hasta La Vista, Baby? If you don’t play games don’t bother.

Let me state upfront, to save any confusion, that I will be installing Vista when my copy arrives. I do so under protest however.
I want to use linux, I really do, and having read some of the scuttlebut regarding Vistas EULA on the interweb makes me want to use linux even more. I’m stuck using [...]

The law is not only an ass…

…it is cruel, counterproductive and dangerously idiotic.
Guess which law I’m talking about. You get the satisfaction of knowing me and my hobby horses better than you might want to if you get it right.
