Rest assured, you didn't. On my more reasonable days, I can agree that there may actually be a small number of situations where someone will have no alternative to using crapware. Poor bastards, I say. Others (specifically business) may actually be justified in doing so as they can afford to support it. However, Seeing instead a ubiquitous monoculture, where crapware is _expected_ for everyone from Granny on her home peecee through aerospace engineers, is simply asinine. I blame Microsoft directly for having created an environment in which malware thrives. The virus and worm writers are merely supplying the payload that exploits that environment. And we all end up paying for the mess everytime some kiddie gets a malicious gleam in his eye. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
