Joe Sixpack doesn't see his PC as a car, he sees it as a DVD Player.
He just buys it, plugs it in and puts Disks in it. It allows him to view the internet and play half-life.
He doesn't think about maintenance or upgrades, he uses it until it stops working and then either takes it to a repair shop or just buys another one.
Taking him off the internet so that it "stops working" is the only way to make him do something about it.
I just noticed that Word 2k3 has a toolbar called "Japanese Greetings" and a total of 30 Toolbars. I think maybe they have gone a step too far. There is even an icon for M$ Foxpro as standard even though it isn't part of Office (The icon just gives an error message)
