M$ still thinks that they own every PC in the world. It doesn't matter if it even runs Windows or not. They've demonstrated this time and time again. Anyone remember the Suse linux controversy a couple years back? They still haven't gotten the idea through their corporate heads that the end user has a choice now on what to do with their system. Lets say you buy a computer with windows pre-installed. They pretty much say now that by even opening the box you agree to their EULA. Even if the first time you boot is solely to pop open the DVD drive to put in a Linux install CD. Last comp i bought didn't even have a initial "You officially sign your life and your computer over to us" dialog come up. And you know how they supposedly give refunds on the windows tax to ppl who never use it. Good luck on that one. M$ is still the same bully they always were, they just try to put a nice face on it from time to time.
If i ever get a chance to interview an M$ executive, I'm going to ask if they feel that they have any rights to a comp that was built by me from parts, and had slackware installed as the only OS from the beginning. I think their response would show everyone exactly how they feel. Hell, anything other than a straight "No" would show their true colors.
