Cool. I doubt those intrusive marketing emails will ever include that header though.
Why does OEM versions of Windows even exist in the first place? How is a bloated, crapwared system ever going to be a better user experience than a clean install?

>> Apple controls iPhones. They have root access, you don't.

Can we please stop making Linux as a thing about choice[1] and stop fragmenting the community in the name of following a UNIX philosophy, the rule of KISS or some other nonsense?
