You whiny little fuckbot. Run Ubuntu from the CD, start Software Sources
and select a faster mirror, for fuck snakes.

Your original post:
Well, I am tending to think that Microsoft programs, as well as from
their associates, have viruses that force the user to use their stuff. I
have all original stuff: WinXP is from Melbourne, but Word2003 is from
China and does not pass genuine validation test; nevertheless it is
bought at the legitimate store where my computer was built. I know that
they would like more money, but I just do not have it for them; I am
going through the hell but I am determined to find the way out of the
extortionist's clutches, i.e. I am trying to find a way without MS.
Can anyone advise me if there is any other OS that can work on its own,
without MS; could I install Linux OS without Microsoft? I have it with
Microsoft now, but MS claims the machine, which works awful as result;
Linux works OK, just the machine cannot defragment, so I would like to
uninstall everything that even smells of MS.
I was wrong. You're not an idiot. You're a fucking nutjob.
