Well hey, if BIOS manufacturers can throw in adds into the BIOS
(it's been announced, I just can't remember which manufacturer it
was... It's happening, you're next new computer might have an add
for AOL (one of the first to announce buying said add space)
EVERY TIME YOU BOOT!) then I don't see why M$ wouldn't hold
back if they thought they could get away with it. But since they're
in hot water at the moment I don't think they'd risk it.
