[Discuss] Anyone Else?

[Andrew Willard]

By now most of you, using the Shaw network for internet access, have received
this email: http://prdlsv1.shaw.ca:8080/trk/click?ref=zrpsmbn49_1-564x3461x18201&

Is anyone else angry at this Windows only horse-shit?

Here is the link to this remarkable software that Shaw is forcing their
subscribers to use: http://shawsecure.shaw.ca/index.html

Wow... nothing but Windows. I wonder how the OSX users feel? Or BSD? Or
anything else that out of the box is more secure than Windows?

I'm surprised IE isn't a requirement ;-)

Lastly... I bought and paid for this modem, they have now without my permission
disabled a feature of the machine. Is this even legal?

p.s. It's March 19th and already my Stand-By switch has been disabled, yet the
email clearly states April 15th 2008 as the start date. Am I being discriminated
against because I use Linux only?

p.p.s. Is Shaw going to replace my Modem (for Free) because I've worn out the RJ45
connector on the back from removing/replacing it over and over again?
