Only the top notch of MS bundles actually make it into their software so us "corperate users" can enjoy the wonderful benefits of them. Sun is obviously not up to par with the benefits of bundling Windows with say... MSN Messenger.

...and rightfully so. The UCC states that any contract you enter into where the seller lies (either intentionally or mistakenly) about the product sold is voidable, thus allowing you to escape it.
However for the original poster, this might not apply because all laptop chips downshift when running on battery- to save power consumption, duh. So this might qualify as a case where the lack of investigation (normally not expected of the consumer) might be so grossly negligent that it amounts to acting in bad faith on part of the consumer to ascend to the terms of the contract. That is of course, my opinion, a court might rule otherwise, but it would certainly be surprising of they did.
Unless you can show that they represented the product to run always at a certain speed, I don't think you'll have much legal ground against the merchant.
Then why change the password? The only reason I can think of was that the original became so widespread that even dumb users were using it and TiVo was seeing that reflected in their call center.

But did you see how the phone added in an appointment at John's place? All the cool kids now schedule their ditchings on their cell phones.

More details should be posted soon here, including court documents that tell why Google was added to the suit.
I'm sure he'll eventually think up of a reason, but at the moment that's beside the point.
I just got a new laptop recently and trust me, it's quite a feeling to tell a friend that your laptop games better than his workstation.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a vision or flashback of somesort.
Better to have AOL slashdotted than a server he might actually care about, no? :)
Maybe they didn't like the idea of getting slashdotted... I'm getting "Sorry, such file doesn't exist..."
