Microsoft wants to run some calculations on my AMD K6-2 400 just because I send an email? They want to take precious clock cycles away from winamp, pron, and online poker?
It's been obvious since the release of XP that Microsoft is in bed with RAM manufacturers, but now they must have whored out to DELL or Gateway to try to get me to get a brand spanking new P4 just to send email. I've had enough, I tells ya! Time for plan B: Talking to people. That's still free, for now.
