Sorry, but it isn't OK for a company to put anything it pleases in its
software as long as it asks you.  "Would you like to have your hard drive
erased?"  Just press "No," for god's sake!  "Would you like to have all of
the information in your credit report downloaded to Microsloth?"  Just
press "No"!  The problem is that this RW has no business being there in
the first place.
