-or- you agree to always leave a back door open on your computer;
-or- you agree that Microsoft can run up your ISP bill by
     gratuitously sending you hundreds of unexpected megabytes;
-or- you agree that Microsoft can look at whatever they want to on
     your hard drive and justify that by saying it's necessary in
     order to be sure of the versions of stuff that you're running;

     to because you agreed to abide by whatever we put online here
