not true....in the linux community, most of us would pass it off as "Well, apparently someone has a use for that sort of thing....and that's fine with me." That's the beauty of Open Source -- if you want your computer to act a certain way, then go ahead and write the program that does it.
On the other hand, I can only imagine that Microsoft, being the bully that it is, will only end up forcing this ridiculous "feature" on the rest of us that would just as soon save CPU cycles (and dollars) for more important things.
So how's this....if you're too poor to afford a second machine, then STOP BUYING WINDOWS!!! Linux offers savings of thousands of dollars (per machine, per user) over the leading operating systems and productivity software. And THAT is why we bash (no pun intended) Windows.
