    We all know that Micro$oft is run as a branch office of Satan, but 
here is a perpetration that is so evil and restrictive as to be simply 
ludicrous:
    Their newest version of FrontPage, a code-mangling web page editor, 
decrees that /"You may not use the Software in connection with any site 
that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or 
services, infringe any intellectual property or other rights of these 
parties, violate any state, federal or international law, or promote 
racism, hatred or pornography."
/    In other words, if you install FrontPage 2002 and say that 
Micro$oft is a monopoly, you will be subject to litigation in civil 
court, and possibly, criminal prosecution for license violation.
