The real goal: MS produces their own Mod chip that only allows you to install WinXP and with a complementary copy of a new improved MS BOB.

Linux installs are automatically reformated.

Why else would they be looking to hire mod chippers and shut down comptetitors?

I'm sorry, but fuck Michrosoft's whiny bitch ass with a big rubber mickey mouse dick. This is just out of line.

If you read my past comments you'll see I don't usually flame, but this is ridiculous.

Mod me up, scotty.

I mean, Jesus...
