Amusing (to me at least) story

I usually use Windows for my desktop machine because I'm blind and the best 
screen readers are Windows programs. Anyway, I left a FAI installation CD in 
my PC overnight. Meanwhile, Bill Gates installed an "important security 
update" on my PC and rebooted my computer. This in turn caused linux to be 
reinstalled on my PC. Fortunately, I have FAI configured to make a mysql 
connection to our inventory database to get info on the default operating 
system. So it knew linux should be installed on the second physical 
partition and left the Windows partition alone.

Still, essentially, Microsoft caused linux to be installed on my PC last 
night.
