Neither MS nor Canonical rank so high. Canonical is already as evil as
can it can be without being run by MS.

I don't much care for either of these evil brands. I come from the era
of the Mighty Slippery Devils Operation System from the Gates of Hell.

I started with the Commodore 64 then the 128 and the Amiga Computer
which was further ahead of its time than most will admit but it had
stupid management that sent it down the tubes. So X95 in the Pentium
single core era running Mandriva Linux until a poor business plan sent
it into bankruptcy. Now PCLinuxOS from the same roots as Mandriva and
Gael Duval whom Mandriva fired ASAP after Mandrake and Mandriva merged.
If Bill Gates is a generous devil then Gael Duval is at the opposite
end of the spectrum and he keeps trying to make Linux better but with
M. Duval we would not have easy to use installations utilities.
Presently on a Dell Latitude E7450.

bliss - brought to you by the power and ease of PCLinuxOS
the Perfect Computer Linus Operating System(for me),
and a minor case of hypergraphia.

I'll see your Canonical and your Microsoft, and I'll raise you one
Google.

and Amazon just bought th company that makes Roomba the cleaning robot.
I bet they will add a digital microphone to record the owners
activities maybe even a camera and internet access. It will be marketed
as the smarter Roomba and with vision and sound capability/

Of course I am a cynic of massive proportions having read history.

And hidden in the "agreement"* in the manual, will be an impossibly long
and obfuscated statement that all images and sound recordings will be
the property of Amazon and not the user.

* It's hard to believe that anyone would actually think this is an
agreement, considering (among other things) that agreeing requires
knowing what's actually there.
