Unbelievable, makes my blood boil just thinking about it. They aren't really obligated
to honor Microsoft's request, are they? Surely, there's nothing illegal about it.

probably applying the same reasoning the RIAA invokes against MP3-Filesharers.
That Ownership of the Copyright entitles them to be the sole Distributor of the Files,even
if they are Free and have to be used to patch M$'s Mistakes..Really some Convoluted
reasoning behind it.
Of course,Autopatcher enabled O/S Owners with Serial# that don't bear too close scrutiny
to patch their Systems.
