I had to giggle a little at the guy who was sentenced to use Windows for his operating system after uploading Star Wars Episode III on BitTorrent. (As if the movie industry isn't making enough off that movie as it is.) The reasoning behind the OS switch is that as part of the punishment he needed to have internet monitoring software installed on his computer. The catch is that the monitoring software only runs on Windows. Now, the story itself really isn't all that funny to cause the giggling, but I know a few people who are so into Linux that their stomach’s would turn at the thought of using Windows. I can imagine this guy isn’t any happier. On top of having his internet connection monitored he also has to wear an ankle bracelet until around Christmas of this year. The lesson here...don't give into the dark side.

Interesting decision by the judge. I am sure Mac users everywhere are laughing to themselves
