Nemesis, you need to throw in some useless, feel-good phrases that falsely justify M$ ripping you off, like:
"to inhance your computing experience",
"to insure the security of your system", or
"so we can better meet your needs".

There are limits to how closely I can emulate Microsofts thinking.  It gets painful to think at that level of deceit.  Klingons are just too honest.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

You'll require Vista when M$ says you require Vista.
Just imagine getting the following pop-up from Microsoft.

Microsoft has detected that you are running an obsolete and insecure version of Windows.  To better serve your security needs and computing experience, your computer has been disconnected from the internet.  In order to resume using the internet and insure the best possible computing experience, please upgrade to Windows Vista.
OK

Well, they can't do that.
Not unless they own every ISP in the world (witch noone ever will).
P.S. I can still connect to the internet by MS-DOS OS. :)
Individuality is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. Negotiation is irrelevant.
Termination is inevitable. Assimilation is inevitable. The End is inevitable.
Fun is illogical. Confort is illogical. Recreation is illogical.
The Standard is inefficient. Peace is inefficient. Diplomacy is inefficient.
Emotion is a design flaw. The Reality is Unreal. The Truth is classified.

Do you need to soak the witch in kerosine or gas for very long before you burn her?  Or is that just one of the "tests"?
