     Funny thing in this months PC Zone (cool British games mag).  Top ten 
surprises about Win95 (a cartoon).  One of them was that it scans your hard 
drive for pirated software, distracts you with dirty pictures while sending the
info to MS, and the next thing you know you are being executed by the MS Piracy
Police.  Very funny.
