The only thing that is really confusing me is the fact that many nations are kind of occupied by "their own" governments.
That's the truest words I've read in a long time... The UK is getting to the point where hard working people are used as cash machines. Me and my girlfriend bring over £2500 a month into the house, and we've still got little money to play with!
Compulsary ID cards (which are coming), are going to cost £150 a pop, on top of ID which we have now, like passports and driving licenses! Council tax is running sky high, well over £1000 a year. It's around £0.91 a litre of petrol, £120 for car tax, £5 for a box of ciggies and TWO POUND TWENTY ONE for a pint of lager in my local!!! :(
If the UK goverment want to know what I'm up to on a night, they've just got to give me a knock, because they've got me stone broke!!!
Honestly, I'd be better off living in Yemen!!!
Back on topic: If Microsoft stop PC's from being an open platform, they'll literally kill themselves!
The beauty of PC's is that people can nearly do whatever they like on them! If they try and change that, the user base probably will diminish, and a fair few user will migrate to other, less intrusive systems... Like Linux!!!
