This is Priceless
How many clueless politicians clicked for a "free" upgrade to WinTen.
How much political "intrigue" is being slurped?
All the talk here is about WinTen. What about the Office suite? And e-mail?
Is all that stuff being slurped too?
Two things with this - will Crapita "offer" the politicos a service to go and reset all the vacuum holes on all their machines- for a suitable fee, of course. [and they'll never get them all!]
A bigger worry concerns how and where this stuff is slurped to. Is it possible to hack any WinTen machine and send the slurped data to :
a) Somewhere else or
b) Microsoft and somewhere else?
[so to Microsoft, it all looks normal, and the user is oblivious to the fact that any rogue organization is reading their secrets/Love Letters/Porn habits/Official Secrets Act stuff/ Arms Trading details/ name your own dodgy stuff here... ]
Microsoft say this'll be the last upgrade ever. They're right!
This will create the final push to make Linux available on every desktop and the applications too, leaving Microsoft and their thieving charging model fading into the distance.
