Surely this would mean that there is now grounds for someone (not sure who) to challenge the metadata collection operation in a court? Or sue? Or pursue happyness? *shrug*

They want to patent having items that people haven't ordered yet? Isn't that what local Stores do? That's why they're called a "Store" after all. -_-

They should be promoted for outstanding service to society those vigelantes. It's nothing less than the guerrilla gunners in east timer, the land of the rising run it's called, stamping out the abhorrant Indonesia nation from their cities. TAKe Up YOUr EFFORt FOr FREEDOm BABy! JAMie OLIVer should be the first to be commended for standing up to the institution. Great job Dire Straits; and Bladerunner soundtrack. Great job Vengalis.

I have Vista installed on my PC. When I bought a new hard drive, I found out that I could not simply activate Vista on my PC (with all the same hardware as before, except the drive itself). I reluctantly called Microsoft support, who asked me for a 25 character (from memory) code, and then read me out another 25 character code which I had to enter to activate Vista.

Wow. Just for changing my hard drive.

I fully intend to downgrade to XP in the near future.
