There are a ton of other implanted devices, not just pacemakers. A lot of these devices might need to be adjusted to make a patient "not fucking die" - it isn't about system patches, it's about making medical adjustments to things like the dosage/voltage/rate/etc that the device is pumping out. You can't tear someone open every month when you need to adjust their insulin pump.
Someone will have to still deal with MS bundling their crapware version of virtualization aka "xp mode" (notable lack of openGL/D3D support) into the OS - this will be antitrust - IE style, round two.
Not by any stretch of the imagination, no.
The main complaint of Microsoft does with Windows and IE stems from the fact that IE is bundled with Windows. XP Mode for Windows 7 is something that, as far as I'm aware, you currently and in the future will have to go out and download on your own. Maybe it might find it's way in there as an option, either through custom settings during installation or whatever the Windows 7 equivalent of Add/Remove Windows Components is or will be. Even then, they seem to have made it pretty clear thus far that they don't plan on having it installed with Windows.
Beyond that, I really can't see any possible way you could make such a ridiculous statement.
I don't know if I want to make a joke about "melts in your mouth and not in your hand", or "if I had a nickel for every time...".
But personally, I wouldn't want to have edible genitals.

Yes, safer, in the sense that you don't have to go in for surgery every time the settings on your implant need to be adjusted.
