Not really on-topic, but I'm bored at work :-)

My wife's WinXP machine is pretty much unresponsive for the first 60-120
seconds after logging in. I believe it's safe to say that this is due to
the amount of (anti-)spyware and other crap that's needed on Windows. I
also believe that this behaviour degrades. It's gotten to the point
where even she is swearing over her computer... she's slowly taking on
the traits of an OSS user ;-)

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

You are in a twisty little maze of standards, all conflicting.
