The progress they've made? Baking in more spyware into Windows and other products than ever before? Taking more control away from computer users than ever before?

What planet are you people on?

Lost your argument as soon as you said "spyware". It's like calling everyone you disagree with a "terrorist".

You can proliferate the doublespeak if you want but I'll call it what it is.

Like rebooting computers whenever they feel like it. Reenabling previously disabled options etc. Your head is in the sand but you don't have to live this way.
