Seems redundant to me. To Linux guys, Win 7 is the malware. ;-)
Well, "malware" is a program that steals your personal information and sends it back to some secret server somewhere for nefarious purposes. Microsoft doesn't do that...
I mean, the fact that Microsoft IE gathers your browsing history and sends it back to Microsoft for marketing and advertising purposes doesn't... oh, wait....
And the fact that Windows Media Player gathers your music and video preferences and sends that back to Microsoft for similar purposes doesn't... oh, wait...
Nevermind... ;-)
