Yesterday, I got a new Laptop, and it is a piece of shit! Hardware is the latest greatest IBM ThinkPad, but the "pre-loaded operating system" is Microsoft XP (eXtreme Problems).

If you want to be stable - the ONLY solution is to nuke it (format everything and start from scratch) and install Linux.

There are so many "preinstalled applications phoning home", it is a joke.

Beware, I'm telling you the truth.

FYI - Linux is perfect for blogging!, except MT does not support Mozilla very well, or vice versa.

Microsoft Sucks...
