          Pretty sure he did - I don't think he'd have been able to resist finishing with:

          "[INSERT MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY HERE] FAIL"

          ... for this long.

          This is like Android but for el Reg's forums - there's a gap in the market (thanks to Eadon's "departure"), and Google have come up with something to fill it...

      Every day it installs some new and unwanted search bar (as part of a critical update process) despite everyone unchanging the box and every day everyone uninstalls it. The next day when you system checks for updates it realises you are missing this vital piece of technology and duly reinstalls it for you.

    Sorry... what's that you say?

    Adobe Reader I understand - I occasionally have to fall back to it when I'm not using Okular.

    But, what's that other thing? I've never heard of it.
