And who wants this behaviour? A closed source application (every 'new Microsoft-based program' is - of course - closed source) that connects to the internet. I can't believe that there are people who consider this as a 'pro' argument for that easter-egg. If it wasn't so serious, if there wasn't so many people who suffer from spyware, viruses and other things, it would make me laugh. It's good, that this discussion shows, that many people didn't accept any behaviour from a software, that is not the purpose of the software. A flightsimulator should be able to provide flightsimualtion-capabilities. Software like Realplayer should provide songs and audio-streaming from the web. As long as Realplayer users can't fly planes, Flightgear users should not be able to hear streamed songs from the net. If this someday changes, I quit using computers, as I quit using microsoft before - but that's another issue.
