Who would've thought that it's a bad idea?

You mean without confirmation like the Amazon 1-click buy now button?

Amazon doesn't charge the card/debit the account until the item is dispatched, so you have time to check the order and cancel it without charge. At least, that's how it's worked for all orders I've placed there (though I don't use 1-click).

I do not think Microsoft is as arrogant as people on this very anti-MS site make it them out to be.

Of course they are. It takes an ego massive enough to bend light to release an update named "Windows Blue" without realizing the next two words in everyone's heads will be "screen" and "death".

Either that, or someone at MS has a sense of humour ;)

"Google bribe the right people at HMRC"

If you looked at the career history of those at the top of HMRC you would see that there is no need for bribery.

IIRC, Vodafone escaped a huge tax bill by taking one of the HMRC top dogs to dinner. Once.

Not quite 'Minimum Bribe Level: 1 Turnip', but not far off.
