You know, I just hadn't considered this before, but what's to stop someone from going into a CompUSA, Borders, or wherever people buy Linux, and replacing all the good copies with bad versions containing some form of malware.

Thankfully, being the most used OS on the Internet, Windows doesn't have this security problem. Otherwise, I'd be getting all sorts of mail about how to buy cheap drugs or make my penis larger. Umm, oh, nevermind<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
