Thanks, I added it to the news feed, will appear shortly.

Someone want to write something about this for the blog? It's a pretty good
example of the way that Microsoft takes advantage of people's supposed
agreement to the EULA to arbitrarily cripple people's computers without
warning, under the guise of an update. Even though it's not directly about
Vista it's exactly what we've been talking about.

"Microsoft put all those functionality-crippling features into Vista because it
wants to own the entertainment industry. This isn't how Microsoft spins it, of
course. It maintains that it has no choice...It's all complete nonsense."
