One time, I crashed windows with a slow death approach just to watch it disintegrate. A drunken experiment that I soon regretted. Alls well, that ends well. Most of my backups were intact. A little wear for damage, but, all is good! So far...

So much of that free software for windows bases systems are loaded with spybots. Beware of the shit you download. You can than Billy boy at the gate for the outrageous monopoly on software today. It was he who first implemented the idea of charging people for software. Before he came along many programmers shared their warez for free. It's come a long way since then. This microshafting of the public to purchase software has also led the user to help debug their problematic programming.  For Free! What does the consumer get when reporting bugs to macroshit? Nothing! Just more and more telemetry bots to invade your privacy. Now you see it...now you don't!
