It's indeed a true crime to use Windows, especially on a network. It results
in SPAM and DDOS attacks, among congestion and other nasties. If it weren't
so prevalent, it would never have been authorised for use.

Microsoft already  gives that rubbish for free. "Ultimate Edition" even. It's
indicative of the perceived value.

This only comes to strengthen the first point. Only a wicked-minded platform
would permit immediate installation of binary blobs from unknown Web sites.

Best wishes,

PS - What does this post have to do with Linux? It's SPAM, surely. Was it
spewed /em masse/ out from a Windows machine that had been infected by the
viral download and then used as a bot on the WWW?
