"Microsoft's new OS Vista "Welcome Center" screen, seen by all PC users when
they start their computers, will display ads. Because that practice has
caused complaints, the company is facing trouble from the U.S. Department of
Justice as well as states attorneys general who are considering legal
action.

Funny that, my DVD's (that I apparently bought and not just licenced access to the content of, if you are to believe the ads) have ads which I can't bypass (on my DVD players). Why hasn't there be a consideration of legal action /against/ non-by passable sections of a DVD?
