Like a lying, thieving turd.
After listening to my wife (who's a senior buyer for a large-ish defense contractor) relate the woe that was having to sit through *an entire day* with Microsoft reps so they could explain to her what MS's new licensing schemes were going to do to her company, I'd say that line above just about sums it up. They were pretty nasty, it seems, and had a "we don't care how much you've bought in the past" attitude.
I showed her Open Office even, and she liked it. But using it wasn't an option, since the head of their IT department acts like he wants to climb in bed with Bill Gates and try to have his children. I guess they decided to lay off more people and pay up, the poor dumb bastards.
I'm going to forward her the link so she'll have something to make her day go by faster...

Ash and Hickory, straight-grained and true, make excellent bludgeons, dandy for the cudgeling of vegetarians.
I recall once when I was but a wee lad that there was some kind of vendor give-away of hot Dr. Pepper on a cold winter day. Very good.
I tried heating Dr. Pepper, but it just wasn't the same somehow.

Where I live, it's not legal to make a public performance of a work under copyright. There are exemption for charitable purposes, or religious worship.
"Traditional" christian carols are legal (religious), but secular songs such as "Frosty the Snowman" or "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" aren't. Go freedom of expression.
