Reasons why not to use M$...

quote:Computer security specialists have been aware for two years that unusual features are contained inside a standard Windows software "driver" used for security and encryption functions. The driver, called ADVAPI.DLL, enables and controls a range of security functions. If you use Windows, you will find it in the C:\Windows\system directory of your computer. ADVAPI.DLL works closely with Microsoft Internet Explorer, but will only run crypographic functions that the US governments allows Microsoft to export. That information is bad enough news, from a European point of view. Now, it turns out that ADVAPI will run special programmes inserted and controlled by NSA. As yet, no-one knows what these
programmes are, or what they do.

Okay, being the noob that I am, what happens if I delete this driver?
The whole thing makes you sick dosen't it?
Hope I didn't double post (again).

Doesn't make me sick. I deleted that driver, along with the rest of Windows long ago, and I don't miss either one of them one bit.

Well, you sound like you're dumb as hell. Going with the bandwagon, are we? Face it, Microsoft has it's advantages and disadvantages like any other product out there. But you sound like you don't have a clue to what you're talking about because it seems like you're trying to act like a hardcore "linux" guy. I've used different distributions of Linux (Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSe, etc), and yes, they have some bugs, but I admit they are fewer. Microsoft is a BUSINESS, and most geeks don't know shit about business and I suggest they learn. Face it, your Linux distributors are in it for the money too, and if given a chance, they would bleed you too. My point is, know your shit before trying to act like you know.

Then you shoulden't have made this post
You obviosly have no clue what this forum is talking about or what you are talking about. And if that statement was about VoidMan you better wear some protective clothing cuz I think half this comunity will rise to his deffence (not to say he can't hold his own, cuz he can do so better than you fucktard!)
