[dundee] Got To Love Ubuntu

[Gordon Dunlop]

What is the big deal deal about this, I used to get all my windows updates
via Fedora 6 for the past year, just to look at their patches and 
applied them
to my Windows partition via USB. I stopped it as is was becoming time 
consuming and boring so I just turned on automatic updates within my
Windows XP partition. I operate Windows XP within Fedora 6  as as a virtual
machine. Any decent programmer will tell you that by using hexi-decimal code
in the windows registry and by blocking off send to home Microsoft server
queries any operating system would be genuine validated. Where have you been
for the all this time?
