Microsoft claims right to put updated software on your computer.
Just ran across an amazing story in the Register that I somehow missed. According to the story, when you download the latest security patch for your buggy Microsoft product, the End User Agreement that you have to click on to download it states:
"You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software protected by digital rights management ('Secure Content'), Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto your computer. These security related updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and use other software on your computer..."
Basically, to get Microsoft's bug fix, you have to agree that Microsoft can download software of their choosing onto your computer. Very Scary.
Tip o' the hat to Jeremy for the link.
