It doesn't make me sick. It makes me laugh. It's so over the top. If nothing else, it's an innovative use of end users. Not quite as innovative as the EULA, but an interesting follow on. I thought it was particularly interesting how M$ characterizes the anti trust action as a lobbying effort (presumably by the enemies of innovation). "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - Samuel Johnson (reference stolen from ESR) What absolutely dumbfounds me is that America was founded on the exact principle of rejecting the very notion of a single entity making a monopoly of intellectual property. Apart from 'innovators', American 'Patriots' are the one thing Microsoft is *not. -JCJ
