Maybe Motorola isn't concerned with the possibility of Microsoft penetrating
their corporate secrets.  Maybe their security types are concerned that someone
at Microsoft will be comparing the number and type of software reported by

a nice big bill from Microsoft for all those unauthorized copies...

Of course, I could be wrong...
