You can switch to linux and help the open software movement create the 
multimedia tools you need, or you can do the following, as done by Tyler 
Durden in Fight Club - "In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the 
damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear 
leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the 
wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, 
you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty 
car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."

Sounds like that what it'll take to stop what you don't want.
