Seeing this makes me really sad for the countless people who are forced to use Windows, most of them because they simply do not know better.

I have a Windows installation that I boot sometimes and pretty much every time I do something despicable happens, though I understand I am not the target audience.

As proven by Android, and Netbooks before it, having OEMs shipping Linux distributions won't change it.

Of course, because linux targeted at non-tech users allows greedy publishers to do the same things as microsoft.

I used to think educating people was a solution, which it might be to some extent... truth is without regulations brought and enforced by people who understand the modern digital world and have the end users best interest in mind (lol), the cat will never go back to the box.
