57/2012 Greedy and unethical

Greedy and Unethical

You want to buy a suitcase for carrying your stuff in your next voyage. You buy the suitcase, but find that the vendor/maunfacturer has put in some garbage already in the box. The stuff you find there is of no use to you, and it also robs you of the space you need for your own stuff. This is exactly what Seagate does, when you buy a portable external hard disk for your backups.
You are a diehard freedom lover, and cannot tolerate anything from the Micro???? junk pile. You find the whole disk formatted to an obsolete and unpopular format NTFS. The disk contains Micro???? executables which you do not need. You do not appreciate this disgusting and irritating intrusion. WTF, I paid for this drive and why is Micro???? pigybacking on my disk ? I do not appreciate unwanted things being stuffed on to me. By forcing itself on you, Micro???? is only making a laughing stock of itself. Linux users like me (aka freedom lover) can get rid of Micro???? created rubbish. This is what you can do (click for details), to give Micro???? what it deserves.
