We suspected all along that the copyright enforcement division of the Justice Department was a group of bullying meanies (how else to explain the power of the RIAA and MPAA), but who knew they were capable of inflicting this kind of evil?

The guy who's being forced to switch to Windows is accepting donations via his blog to pay for a Vista license. Good luck with that, d00d.

See...this just confirms that Bill Gates actually IS Big Brother. He's got the government under his poorly-performing thumb (reference the Federal Mandate that all gov't agencies have to be on Vista by Feb. 08).

I'm keeping my eyes open for a new political party: Microsoftie Surely it's only a matter of time.

Of course, my other thought about this was, "dude...you're going to Disney World!" Because, if they're relying on Windows to keep track of you, you might as well be invisible.

He's getting off light. Anybody who facilitates the viewing of Star Wars III by innocent people should be put away for a very long time.
