	What your saying is that you don't know jack shit about th situation but 
since you think it's as good a time as any to bash Microsoft you might as well 
go ahead.  Maybe the people at Motorola were so pleased with theie betas they 
wouldn't stop using them after Motorola asked them to stop. So now they issued 
a "stern warning". Does this mean that MS is satan. I don't think those two 
lines refer to anything about a nefarious plot to overthrow the world or even 
to find out what your computer has on it.
