The day Chile was Bought by Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Just today, a secret agreement between MS and the Chilean Government came to
| light. In it, every citizen was sold as a potential user of a Windows Live

| cashing Bill some bucks. It wouldn't be so awful to all if that agreement
| wasn't aprooved yet (Spanish follows).
