Let’s be fair here. Here are three Microsoft innovations I have yet to see in any Linux disto.
The Windows registry. a built in database that corrupts itself regularly and must be periodically cleaned to maintain system performance. Also a wonderful hiding ground for windows viruses.
Internet Explorer ActiveX controls. Really great snippets of code that you must use to keep your system up to date. also another wonderful hiding ground for viruses.
Windows Genuine Advantage. Try to steal Windows and Genuine Advantage might shut you down. Also might shut you down if your a legal owner with a problem!
Truly we must give credit to Microsoft for these great ideas.
