My, my.  I do believe we have the first leak in the dike...

I, for one, have no intention of sticking my finger into the hole and try to stop 
it...  (On the other hand, I'm willing to get a shovel and see if I can widen the 
hole a bit more :)

Can Microsoft prove that it is not possible, using Win95 and the Microsoft Network 
for Microsoft to upload whatever they want from your machine to Microsoft?  I also 
am beginning to wonder if it might be possible for Microsoft to download whatever 
they want from Microsoft into your machine without your knowledge...
