absolutely Bill,
they had to back down on some rights infringements in the states already because of legal challenges before it was released. We do not seem to have the same protection here, but all politicians now bow down to big business and do very little for the people who voted them in.

the whole thing stinks of big brother. If you know the files, you can back them up and replace them when you're disabled. Also cracks are available if you search for them. Maybe microsoft will force everyone to run cracked versions in time?

what worries me is that they have gone a decade backwards in security. microsoft giving itself the chance to inspect your hard disks have let the door open for every hacker on the net.

I'm with you 100% here.
