This is the main reason why I made the move to Linux.  The last 
Microsoft product I paid money for was Windows 2000.  It continued a 
trend that I saw with all Microsoft products that I didn't like: namely, 
Microsoft thought that they owned my computer and could tell me how, 
when, where I could/couldn't do things with it.

I saw Windows XP only continue that trend and knew that it would get 
worse - and I was right (proof: Windows Vista).

Now, with Mandriva, *I* control what my computer does.  What systems my 
computer trusts.  How my computer works.

After all, it's *MY* computer.
