It appears to me that this goes against the essence of FOSS, GNU/Linux system, or the very LINUX system he helped fostered all together: CHOICE. Not everybody is superuser. And the last time I checked, PC means personal computer...which means, "if it works for me, keep the fuck off my computer". Anyhoot, nice post and damn if I wasnt here in 2005.
