Re: [ubuntu-uk] Quote of the day....
From 'comments' to an interview, (edited for readability), someone asked : > 'Why don't any of the OSes sandbox everything by now better protecting users from themselves?' To which someone else replied: 'So in short nobody's sandboxing a PC any time soon except for running Windows in a VM, which I think of more as litter boxing.'

Q: Had you considered the possibility that we might actually prefer Windows, or even think it's better? A: No, but in all fairness, neither had I considered the possibility that you might be afflicted with rabies or suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. Just Some Guy on /. (with minor edits for readability) or ...Open Source isn't the only answer -- but it's almost always better than the alternative... -- CodeShark as seen on /.

Ah - the joys of contextual advertising - sorry about that.
