Why I'm posting this from Ubuntu (just one of many reasons)

[treadmill-- with the great taste of fish]

The pre-install of Vista that came with this laptop amounted to several
gigs' worth of disk space. For an OS? So I had a look with Windirstat to
find out where all the space was going. I found a folder that had a load
of movies in that Microsoft had put there. Right, they can go, I
thought, and I tried to delete them.

The first file I tried to delete, called "Apollo 13.dvr-ms", could not
be deleted. It said "you need permission to perform this action". Now I
can see why some files might be protected from deletion. But a 50
megabyte movie advertisement? Why the hell shouldn't I be allowed to
delete that?

I could just about tolerate a polite message from Microsoft stating why
they would like me not to delete it, but then it should let me delete
this crud if I want to. I Googled for a bit but then I thought, what am
I doing wasting my time trying to find out how to delete this stupid file.

Listen, Microsoft: it's my computer - not yours. Don't presume to tell
me what I can and can't do with it!

So here I am in Ubuntu, enjoying a proper, grown-up operating system
that doesn't try to take away my freedoms like Microsoft Vista does.

You know what, I'll bet Ubuntu will allow me to delete that file!

I am. Are you?

Do you know how to delete that enormous advert Microsoft has foisted on
us?

If you don't know, you'll have to admit that Vista is inferior to Ubuntu
in respect of the freedom to choose what to do with unnecessary files on
OUR hard disks. Or do they belong to Micro$oft?

I'll bet Ubuntu will let you delete the file also. I'll bet U* will let you
delete necessary system files or allow someone else to delete your personal
stuff.

I'll even wager a downloaded program will be able, under U*, to delete your
whole system, format your drive, and kill your cat.

Frank's our resident troll. He's only capable of insulting people, lying

With the Vista Virus, you no longer are in charge of your computer.
Don't believe me, update your BIOS or update a graphics card driver from
MS UPDATES (giggle).

He wishes he was Steve but I bet old Frank can jump around and yell "I
love this company!" just as well as Steve can.

if you love Linux so much why not use a live disk to delete the files or
just try taking ownership of them in vista btw i don't think they came
from vista i have 3 versions of vista one that came on my laptop and
doesnt have any movie files except the the ones you can use a desktop
the others are out of box and non of them have that stuff your talking
about i think it came from whoever you got you computer from they have
a tendency of puting more junk then you need on you computers
