    the sheer level of rage released from Slashdot would probably be enough to melt monitors on the other side of the world.

          You are probably the only person on slashdot NOT running linux. What rage? Microsoft can do what it wants with it's POS OS. In fact, it's perfectly legally entitled to. Enjoy your tax.

    As identifying as Microsoft should only remove credentials and reduce privileges, you shouldn't need to ID for this. You don't show your ID to prove that you're under 18 to get kicked out.
