The Microsoft-DOJ Joint Status Report on Google's Complaint
,----[ Quote ]
| One glaring issue is that you can't turn Microsoft's desktop search engine
| off, even if you want to use Google instead.

| My own Alice-in-Wonderland reaction is to ask, is Microsoft trying to
| think up ways to annoy and harass customers? Or is it just a side effect
| of other goals? Who in the world would want to use something like
| that, a resource-depleting application you can't turn off?

This was pointed out before. How come people cannot switch off the "phone home"
bit on their /own/ PC? That's right, because they only get a license to borrow
a copy of Windows. The PC is no longer under their own control.
