|True, it's a clear-cut violation of privacy. That wasn't the point. In ANY 
|case where you could feasibly be caught for doing something (such as pirating 
|software), the people that complain the loudest are usually the people who

|Microsnooping is a pirate)
	Yes you are. Despite your protestations to the otherwise, you
	are using one's fundemental liberties against them by implying

||2.  There is a big difference between what is unethical and what is
||illegal.  MicroSoft will get around the problem of lawsuits by putting one
||of those insipid "OK?" dialog boxes on the screen before it goes scroung
||-ing.  They'll likely have great success with the new or otherwise naive
||users who'll flock to MS Network when it opens.

|get the demographics they want.
