</style>Scott, in a free society, one has a right to use or not use a
program. I don't pay or use products which I don't like e.g Apple (had
a Mac), locked music cd's and only use windows cause open source
doesn't have a replacement for a couple of programs. I use Ubuntu 98%
of the time. If I could get the USB to work on visualbox, I would be
1000% happy.<br>
<br>
If people complain and don't like windows, don't use or buy it!<br>

I'm not sure where you are coming from.<br>
<br>
Yes, I don't buy their OS, and I'm only "using" it in cases where their
DRM (itself unethical) infringes on _my_ right to not use their
software.<br>
<br>
It is also "my right" to point to resources which contain facts that
support my position that MSFT does not act with acceptable business
ethics. Since this is one reason to drop #se7en and adopt Linux on the
desktop, I think it is highly on-topic for this mailing list.<br>
<br>
Don't like it? It's "your right" to disagree, too...but please don't
imply that *I* somehow am infringing on people's rights.<br>
<br>
BTW, how do you like Linux so far? :)<br>
