hmm, this brings up an interesting paradox then...

no, i don't frequent that site, but i found it on another message board i go to.
if you read that, you know about mircrosoft's new OS. it is basically the ultimate spyware tool. <cough>BIG BROTHER</cough>. sorry, a bit congested there

. but, under these laws, can MS legally have an embedded OS that 'hacks' into your computer to play around with anythign stored on it? that's considered hacking today, so why is it suddenly the buisness plan of a major US corporation? am i the only one completely confused by this whole thing?
i think it's time i finally bought myself a linux book and tried to learn me some linux...
