This comment is absolutely correct. Newsforge should be ashamed for printing such nonsense. Almost every OEM restore disc I have ever seen does the exact same thing. Manufacturers used to provide multiple discs. One that was a complete system restore and one that was an application restore, usually with an option to install Windows only. I am an advid Linux user and the local advocate within my company, but I can not understand why someone would blame Microsoft for this when it is clearly the OEM doing it. Is it an official Microsft cd? No. That should be your first clue that Microsoft is not resposible for this. Blaming Microsoft for this that and the other at the drop of a hat, is really going to hurt Linux based OS's in the long run. Newsforge should be more responsible in reviewing what is submitted to be posted.
