That's 12 years old. You're not supposed to understand how computers work any more.

On some machines, you can't re-install Windows any more. You're pretty much a slave to the cloud with Office 360 or Google. Chromebooks are total slaves. Phones get more locked down each year.

Even on Linux, you're often now slaved to some remote system which keeps installing new stuff.




What is this "remote system which keeps installing new stuff" that you speak of?


Ubuntu's Software Updater, of course.
