I highly recommend the movie/play A Man for All Seasons, especially the scene in which Sir Thomas asks whether we should cut down all the laws to go after the devil. Very pertinent to your argument. The Supreme Court is the proper venue to consider whether the Court of Appeals should have followed the logic of their conclusions about Judge Jackson's ethical lapses and declared a mistrial. But I suppose when a defendant is "so guilty you can smell it" we shouldn't be worried about such minor points of legal procedure as requiring the presiding judge to observe canons of conduct designed to ensure impartiality. Virtually all new PCs come pre-cluttered with any number of add-on packages that manufacturers see fit to bundle with the purchase either preloaded or in a package of CD-ROMs that ship with the box. And Internet-based distribution makes virtually any piece of software a mouse click away from the consumer. As such it's difficult to understand your point about "restrictions on computer makers that make it prohibitive to bundle" software, presuming there is a point to be understood amid the "hogtied and horsewhipped" rhetoric.
