OT - recovering files with Linux

[P. J. Alling]

Back when the US was prosecuting Microsoft for monopolistic practices US 
Gov. requirements were that contractors, suppliers and agencies were to 
use some flavor of Unix.  Unfortunately after that episode was finished 
all was forgiven.  On top of that I'd bet just about every country in 
the world is using Windows, and 90% of all commercial enterprises world 
wide as well.  Microsoft created the original hooks used by most spywear 
for similar purposes (and now gives away band aids to while not really 
fixing the problems).  They are truly an evil organization. Microsoft 
proves that over and over again. Unfortunately being evil by itself 
isn't against the law.

I suspect that, with artificially generated reports on about a dozen different video cards, you could shut down most of the USA government computer network, once it's on Vista.  Brilliant.
