Can anyone confirm this? 

According to rumors, recent trends, and the below document
and installation guide there is no easy way to avoid 
installing Win2025, and they say the work-around is 
rather painful. 
 
Has anybody found a a way to avoid this?
They say that auto-instalation is the wise choice. 
Thanks! 

================
We will all rush out to buy Windows 2025.

We will have no choice in the matter, for Windows 2025 will 
be the first operating system to govern not only world of computers,
but the whole of human society. If we wish to interface with
the world, to converse with our neighbors, to advance in our 
careers, to raise up our children, to
appreciate the wonders of nature, art, music and literature, 
to get out of life everything it has to
offer, we must have Windows 2025 installed. 

Windows 2025 will ship packaged in a 500cc 
hypodermic syringe. 
The only documentation will be a simple 
one page installation guide--

     TO INSTALL WINDOWS 2025.... 

     1) Immediately before bedtime, inject Windows into any major
artery.
     2) Pleasant dreams!
     3) Wake up to the world of Windows 2025!!!

As we drift off to sleep our inner organs will 
begin to itch as the hoards of nanotech molecular
robots of the Microsoft Installer Program swarm 
through our system, rewiring neurons, rewriting
genetic code, rerouting established intellectual 
and emotional data flows to assure maximum
compatibility with the new Operating System. 

In our dreams we will ascend effortlessly to a
mountain summit from which vantage we will gaze 
down upon the sprawling, clogged, polluted
city of our former selves as it is mercifully and unceremoniously
bulldozed flat. We will then see a
new city miraculously appear around us-- the 
City of Windows, the City on a Hill, aglow with
the lumi....
