Why pay for bugs?

I learned PCs during DOS days and ended my Windows days tweaking GIS workstations running NT and W2K. I now run Linux and doubt I'll ever go back. These days, why pay for trouble when all it takes is a small learning curve to go Open Source?

A no-brainer, if you ask me.

When they want you NOT to run older programs on the new operating system

...is when I get angry with them.

Apparently, to do that in Windows 7, you have to install the most expensive edition of 7, VM software, your old copy of Windows XP, and an extra 1 GB of RAM.

But I don't know if that's only for games. In which case, there is at least one Linux bootable CD of games, enjoy.

No patch here

Given that this bug allows you to operate at system level, this is one bug that I am not going to patch...

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
