Microsoft FUD as usual. -- Wish they'd show this to the judge at the trial. Really smacks of illegal use of a monopoly. -- Now the BSA can even audit any name brand PC (Dell, Gateway, etc.) for having Linux and claim it is a violation! -- I understand that some of the newer PC's don't even come with a copy of windows but only a "restore partition". If you wipe the disk, then you're in violation (hmm, does that make the "format" command in windows a piracy enabler?) I wonder what's next?
