Reminds me of a chinwag I had with a librarian friend of mine over the weekend. They use
MS for all their computing needs and she said one of the ads for upgrading from Win2000/NT
-> XP was a picture of the infamous "blue screen of death" with the (paraphrased) text
"tired of seeing this? Upgrade to XP". Her response was "I'm tired of seeing this! Give me
the damn XP upgrade for free!"

Like others have said, maybe RSI has adopted a MS strategy, as in "what're the user's
gonna do, huh?".

Anyway....
