The point is it's 100% off-topic for the groups to which it was
posted. It's got nothing to do with embedded system
development, nor presumably with rotobitcs or electronics
repair.
So millions of people got screwed over by MS. Complain to Bill
Gates. Or the justice department. Or George Bush. I've done
my part: I don't use MS products.

No, but I still don't see how that makes it relevent to
comp.arch.embedded.
