Disk Cleanup in Windows


I am quite surprised that when you run Disk Cleanup in Windows the operating system remains. I thought it was supposed to remove all unnecessary files.

I have had enough with the oil companies controlling our paychecks, and Microsoft controlling our computers. Well, the time has come to make the switch... Bring on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is a Linux distro with an extremely easy setup, and an awesome to use GUI interface.
For a long time, I was weary of installing Linux, and having to learn a new OS. But I decided if I can figure out how to program a PIC microcontroller with A/D conversion in about 6 hours, I can learn Linux.

This is a great leap from the bondage of corporate America, and now all I have to do is build my Electric Car.

Until then...

Andy

Down with the evil empire!
You could always switch to a mac :). We really like ours, but I'd like to have a unix machine someday, of course OS 10 sorta makes your mac a unix machine, OS 10 seems to be just a program running in a unix shell. Jamie uses the terminal all the time to do stuff.
As for the oil companies, we got bikes, and someday when we own a house that isn't controlled by an HOA, we'll do everything we can to get it off the power grid.
Good luck with the electric car. I'm excited to see it.
