YES, destroy the pc
i wholeheartedly concur with the "destroy the users data" wish.

MS problems are MORE due to idiocy on the part of the user than problems with the operating system.

i work internet technical support.

i KNOW.

DAILY, hell, HOURLY i have people call me who have no clue what version of windows they are running, who do not know how to "right click, delete" an icon. it is not unusual for it to take me 4-6 minutes to get someone to "right click on your "my computer" icon, and select properties"

THESE people are the problems on the internet, and it makes me sick each time i get off the phone with them, as i know i just contributed to virus proliferation, and also the spam menace.

destroying their computers might just be the shock they need to prompt them to get some training on the piece of hardware that they just went to walmart and purchased
