And don't overlook the extremely paranoid users that will not update because
"I don't want MS poking around in my PC". I find it funny that they think MS
isn't already poking around in their PC. Or the fact that it doesn't bother
them in the least when you find a dozen keyloggers and trojans on their box,
and they still refuse to update. As long as they think that MS isn't looking
at their files, they feel safe. I have never understood why these people will
continually buy (or pirate) MS products if they distrust MS so much.
