A reason to “Switch”?

Okay, so as I was adjusting my network settings on my PC, I realized the new computer I bought still had “Administrator” as the name of the, well, administrator. As I go to change it to Marshmallow (don’t ask), I see the default picture is that chessboard icon. Wtf at a chessboard icon. So as I go to change it, this happens:

Yep, you’re looking at that correctly. To “help protect my computer”, Windows has blocked a Microsoft program. Not just any Microsoft program, one that’s pre-installed with every copy of Windows. Amazing.

Now I’ve never been big on Macs. I mean, I used to use them quite profoundly, however I was never particularly intrigued. Just imagine, getting a message on your Mac reading “You are not allowed to continue unless you press your right mouse button”. That message just embarassed Windows’ existence in my book. But hey, then again, that just shows that I am under some truly serious protection. Perhaps I’ll install a couple of programs I’ve found on various pop-up ads. Nothing to worry about, I got Bill on my side.
