I'm still waiting for the anti-trust decision to be enforced against
MicroSoft. But the whole thing may be moot now ...
To get really sick to your stomach, to learn how your computer and
software will no longer be *your* computer and software, regardless of
how much you paid for it, read the article at:

MS is working on making a time worm legal and "industry wide standard"
for software you thought you were *buying* ...
If that's not an act of "domestic terrorism" I don't know what is.
Can you imagine this: Aircraft carrier mail gets delayed, the guy who
normally upgrades the software was granted emergency leave when The
Red Cross called, and the software expires at midnight.
I'd call it extortion and blackmail, myself ...
