I think M$ hit the rock bottom when they patented double click. :-/

Wow, no wonder i had disdain for Microsoft... Makes me want to pressure schools to use GNU/Linux even more now, Even if it is a mainstream version like Ubuntu (mentioned in the first link) or Debian. I don't really like to use a operating system from a company with numerous antitrust violations (& especially with questionable privacy settings out of the box), But the technicians don't like me using GNU/Linux.
