Keep in mind that I run Gentoo Linux and don't do MS Windows, or indeed,
OSX or any other proprietary software, including on Linux like the
proprietary nVidia graphics drivers or the proprietary flash player, at
all. And I've been off of them since I upgraded to Linux in 2001 when MS
came out with eXPrivacy and with it crossed a line I wasn't going to
cross (if Linux wasn't around I likely would have been forced into piracy
to avoid crossing that line; luckily Linux was, and I switched and a
whole world of software freedom opened to me). So to the extent that the
MS version's behavior differs, I wouldn't be aware of it.
