You whiny little fuckbot. Run Ubuntu from the CD, start Software Sources 
and select a faster mirror, for fuck snakes.

"or their affiliates"? You fucking waffling idiot.

What a load of fucking old cobblers.

I suspect you're a fucking idiot.

Your original post:

[QUOTE]
Well, I am tending to think that Microsoft programs, as well as from 
their associates, have viruses that force the user to use their stuff. I 
have all original stuff: WinXP is from Melbourne, but Word2003 is from 
China and does not pass genuine validation test; nevertheless it is 
bought at the legitimate store where my computer was built. I know that 
they would like more money, but I just do not have it for them; I am 
going through the hell but I am determined to find the way out of the 
extortionist's clutches, i.e. I am trying to find a way without MS.

Can anyone advise me if there is any other OS that can work on its own, 
without MS; could I install Linux OS without Microsoft? I have it with 
Microsoft now, but MS claims the machine, which works awful as result; 
Linux works OK, just the machine cannot defragment, so I would like to 
uninstall everything that even smells of MS.

I was wrong. You're not an idiot. You're a fucking nutjob.
