If the impeachment scandal has taught me anything, it's that 1. polls are stupid and 2. I must be totally out of touch with reality. I'm a 24 year-old liberal Democrat who thinks Bill Clinton lied under oath, and is a total scumbag who should've been removed from office. Plus I think Micro$oft is a abusive company that has been leveraging it's monopoly power to eliminated the competition
Microsoft might not have a choice

Fine, so if you don't like that dialog how about this one.
Prosecuter:"Mr. Dell(or anybody else representing a major OEM), isn't it true that you installed and distributed MS-Win9X under the agreed to terms in the MS EULA stating that if the end-user does not agree then he must return the software to the vendor, you, for a refund"
Mr Dell:"Yes"
Prosecuter:"Well, I have evidence that there have been many such requests that were denied. How can you explain this?"
Mr Dell:"(Pauses but is forced to answer the question clearly loaded question))Well we also have an agreement with Microsoft that under no circumstances are we able to get a refund from Microsoft in order to provide a refund to the end user."
Prosecutor:"So would it be correct to say that Microsoft clearly has had a significant influence in your decision to violate the terms in the EULA."
