This very question begs the question
why would anyone use a FuelPak?, but then for the
exact same reason, I have to ask
Why would anyone use Microsoft Windows?.
On both, they are decidedly like a car with the hood welded shut. Might be fine for someone who never likes to tinker, but for those who do it is maddening as hell.
I would advise to use anything else in either category if you want to ever be able to find out just what it is they do and if you ever want to feel like you actually have any semblance of controll over something you have purchased. In the personal computer realm that pretty much leaves either paying money for Mac software/hardware or either paying money or getting at no cost or obligation whatsoever something like
http://www.ubuntu.com (which is arguably better anyway).
Leaving the subject of this thread even further, I
implore you all to not ever put a Microsoft-laden computer which has anything at all on it that you value as personal information directly onto a public network. Even if you do not value any personal information on it, please do not put it directly onto a public network as I personally dislike having to deal with spam e-mail, and chances are very good your computer is a source of that to me, even if you might not think so.
Thank you...
