I’m slightly annoyed at the Comcast tech right now. When he installed our cable modem, he also installed some crap on my system that replaced my default search engine. I don’t install software from vendors, unless I choose to. Given that I’m running Vista (and yes, I do like it), it also gives me more control over security by know exactly what is installed. Plus that, I don’t want my system secretly sending stuff, whether for monitoring the network, or collecting information outside of network activity itself.
BTW… I also dislike the new trend of installing browser toolbars.

Uuuugh, that’s going to suck for me soon, given that I’m moving and will have to get new internet connection. I don’t want them fucking up my desktop. It’s very stable and reliable and that’s mostly because nothing that doesn’t need to be there is installed.
