Every IT producer thinks they need to tell
the user what's good or bad or how to do this or that. The user is becoming less and less involved in their own PC with every passing day. Can the user not think for himself anymore?

Every day I fight the spyware battle in the trenches like many of you readers. It is a no brainer when it comes to what is good and what is bad. Any software that acts without the users involvement is bad. From spyware to OS's to applications to utilities.

I don't need some software company's bigwig, who has never cleaned a PC in has life to tell me what is good or bad. It is my PC and I will take the responsibility for its future. Until everyone else does the same, the mess will get worse by the day!

IT is becoming its own worst enemy. And the industry is being laughed at like no other before it. Idiots motivated by greed.

There is a drastic shake up just around the bend. Nothing could survive the idiocy so prevalent today in this industry.
