I want EVERY company to be FORCED to notify me of every piece of software they install,...

My system already does that.

Yeah, rub it in. They'll see the light eventually. :-)

I run linux for most things, too.

However, there are fool pieces of hardware that I have to keep MS junk around for, and if you have it, you’ve got more than just MS -— kind of like all those germs you have lurking around on your skin and in your body just because you’re living.

If any virus/ malware infestation carried substantial penalties for non compliance of notice, including losing all rights to the software associated with the allowed malware, we might see some benefits from this type of legislation. What the House just proposed does nothing useful.
