Something for Your Stocking

I just returned from my trip to Europe to support our resellers. While I was there, Microsoft gave me an early Christmas present: a big lump of coal! Actually it was a copycat trademark infringement lawsuit, suing in multiple countries at once.

But I've got a gift for all those loyal Michael's Minute readers. For anyone who has purchased LindowsOS in the past, LindowsOS 4.5 is available for free in your my.lindows account. New features: SIP calling for free worldwide phone calls, integrated Google searching, integrated translations in 6 languages, remote desktop sharing, interactive multimedia tutorials, and a full office suite.

For those who haven't purchased yet, use coupon code MMDECGIFT to get a free LindowsCD ($29.95 value). This coupon makes LindowsOS just $20. Thanks for your support!

Hunting for the X-File Ghost

AI will soon rule the world. It will decide if you paid your taxes, qualify for a mortgage, whether your kid is admitted to university, if someone is eligible for parole, if you've been naughty on social media, etc. EVERYTHING. But what happens if it's WRONG? Here's an unbelievable and ominous situation where a cybersecurity company publishes a report stating an American company was part of a Chinese cybercriminal organization. The story spread around the world. One enormous problem: the software they claim as evidence doesn't exist, but nobody bothered to research it. No news site. No security companies. Nobody.
