Comment 294 for bug 1

Dear Mark,

While you are indeed accurate in the positive statements mentioned on your
blog recently as to how to solve bug #1, thanks to your (you and your
brilliant teams :^) efforts, I discover that I have become more ignorant.

This morning, I had to spend several minutes to discover the expansion of
the acronyms WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) and WGN (Windows Genuine
Notification). When I researched these acronyms, what I found out about
the end of personal privacy really scared me. I must attribute my
ignorance of these insidious products to you (plural). It appears my
ignorance is directly the result of running a single boot Ubuntu system
for the last 2 years. I languish in this ignorance, and due to my lack of
interest or need for proprietary systems that advantage themselves over
their customers, it appears that my economic viability as a consultant is
diminished. Simultaneously, I revel in my ignorance of operating systems
incursion into my personal computer. Thanks for the ignorance! I suspect
this feature of invasive operating systems on the part of the Micro$oft
Corporation may be their contribution to the mitigation of bug #1.

Kindest Regards,

Paul Flint
