Perhaps you needn't worry about them any more either ?

It means format all your HDD, get rid of Windows, install Linux

It's the eternal battle between "the evil spawn" Bill Gates and the Linux penguin...

There's even a logo going around the Internet (sold in t-shirts and the like) of the Linux penguin dressed in a yellow sportsuit similar to the one Uma Thurman uses in "Kill Bill", and below the penguin it says, well, "Kill Bill" (referring to Bill Gates, of course).

I know this is OT from the original post, but I use a keyboard really similar to the Maltron 3D one. It's a Kinesis contoured keyboard: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/

It's a bit hard to get used to, but then you can't live without it (particularly if you have RSIs like me).
