Some alternatives

MICROSOFT. Because you have no choice. MUA HA HA HA HA!!!

But is it? NO. If you bought a PC and the windows OS is annoying the sh*t outta you, there are plenty of alternative OSes, most notably linux. Our fave distro (although you get plenty of others) is Ubuntu, who's slogan is "Linux for human beings". This is because Linux used to be an OS that only geeks could use, but now it is very easy to configure/use it even if you have limited technical knowledge, and there's even a forum for getting answers to your problems with ubuntu. The word "Ubuntu" is an ancient african word that means 'Humanity to others'. And linux is free, so no more 30 day free trials, activating, and the like. And its not just free as in beer, its free as in speech, so anyone can get access to the source code and edit it themselves, free of charge. More of this in the GPL general public license. Another point: If you switch to linux, you can safely say that you won't get viruses. This is because for every Linux computer there are 1,000,000 windows computers. A virus maker's not going to make linux viruses if there are 1,000,000 times the amount of windows machines.

So no more of that stupid Operating System, Microsoft Window$!!!

NOTE: Ubuntu, unfortunately, is only an option for people with a reasonable amount of computer knowledge. (mal)
