It took a bit of time to figure out how to remove Cortana from the boxes infested with Windoze10:

-Turn off fastboot
-Boot with Linux distro of your choice
-Rename all of the Cortana binaries
-Enjoy not seeing useless waste of CPU by a process that Windoze lied about turning off

This is simply creepy. Yes, there are potentially wonderful applications. There are also potentially horrendous ones. This is creepy.

This was irrefutable proven by George on Seinfeld. And if it happened on Seinfeld, you KNOW it has to be real. :)

Instead of posting to the choir, do something that matters.
Send a dead-tree fax to your congressman.
Most of them don't give a rat's posterior about volumes of email messages. Send a real fax to your local congresscritter in your own state. Most have their local fax numbers available via their links at http://www.house.gov/representatives/ . Posting here and on other sites frequented by those of us who actually understand how bad the censorship will be won't do ANYTHING. Send a polite fax to your congressman's home (not in DC) office - even congressmen can count faxes.

The majority of users are chained to Windows. According to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp , the majority of these are STILL using WinXP! My computers include a beautiful 24" intel iMac, a fast laptop with win7/Ubuntu and a fast desktop with Vista/Ubuntu. I choose to work in Ubuntu because of the freedom and productivity it gives me. Guys like myself, and people who are happy working with their WinXP PCs really couldn't care less about Windows 8. The fanboys and Shiny Object fanatics are excited about Windows 8, but otherwise, how many people truly care about Windows 8?

Seriously?
