erm...  if I might be allowed to say something here ?  It's very
likely that MS have got some sort of thing going with the RIP bill
that will allow them to use it against the ordinary person in the
street ?

And so, any attempt to argue with the RIP bill is in fact an argument
with MS ??  Their normal methods are to ring in a whole crowd of
programmers (without them knowing about it) and from there they
proceed to the next stage where they pay private investigators to
cripple anyone and anything.

Well, that's what I've seen them doing :-)
