We've known for a while that Windows is a security sieve, but to use that
information to justify selling a nextgen OS and a draconian DRM system, nah,
Microsoft would never do that.

We've known for a while that MS wants to deemphasize the web browser lest it
becomes a platform threat, but to ignore IE development for half a decade,
kill it as a standalone product and submerge it into to the nextgen OS, nah,
Microsoft would never do that.

We've known for a while that MS is annoyed at the success of iPod/iTMS which
isn't based on MS' DRM, but to use that to attack iPod/iTMS for being
'anti-choice' and then introduce its own portable media player which
supports only MS WMV format and DRM, nah, Microsoft would never do that.

Livia, as usual, you're being unduly paranoid.:-)
