Remember all that "License" stuff you're supposed to read at the beginning
of the install, but everyone usually skips? Well it probably says in there
that "Microsoft doesn't take responsibility for the damage the product
causes, and if you don't like it, shove off." .. And besides, it's a beta..
But then again, it's Microsoft... and we all know, for every Microsoft
installation performed, a little girl or boy dies somewhere in the world :)
