It's true that windows is not free, but spyware is free, and we all 
criticise that (I assume). That point still stands.

In truth, anything can be criticised, as long as the criticism is 
constructive. To say that something is free so jsut shut up and accept 
it, even if it has problems is truly idiotic.
