    "So, this is a tool that removes Microsoft Malicious Software? Can it remove Windows?"
    Shall I roll the drums? It's the first time I hear this joke... today.
    Let me point out that this is NOT an antivirus, it removes malware. I find it to do this job decently, and since it is useful and is offered free of charge by Microsoft to keep Windows snappy, I can only praise it.

    About Windows as an OS, people who use Office at work could always use Linux and OpenOffice at home. But this discussion is irrelevant and off topic.

    Yeah, there are things that can "hold you hostage" to Windows. Things like needing to run the same platform at home and at work for compatibility. Things like the fact that other platforms don't let you run the software you want (e.g. games).
