What is it with the Microsoft Windows team(s)?

Read this bit of WTF??? first.

I swear, it's like there's some internal "Stupid Alarm" that monitors the Microsoft Windows team's relationships with the rest of the world, and when there's not enough examples of Microsoft being a collection of greedy stupid bastards, it goes off and you get things like this happening.

I'm just glad that the article named names and departments, so if I ever get contacted by anyone who's a software asset managment engagement manager, (I swear, you can tell a Microsoft Windows team member by their TITLE some days. Is that even ENGLISH?), regardless of what their name is, I can tell them to pound sand. Because when I start getting threats of legal action if I don't let Microsoft diddle my IT records, well I stop thinking "Legitimate Concern" and I start thinking "High-Class Extortion".
