According to mp3licensing.com, the royalty rate is 75 cents per device ($1.25 for the mp3Pro version). I have no idea of how much SanDisk's MP3 players cost or how many they've sold but I don't think an extra dollar in the price tag would have hurt their sales.
We had a similar problem at the place where I work. It turned out that it's possible to use Remote Desktop that way, as long as the machine is not part of a domain.
I've been trying to get the ISO since last night but their servers were being hammered to the point I couldn't download 10MB without getting disconnected. I might as well get the file off P2P and use the serial number MS mailed me.

Since I live in South America (Brazil), the domestic market is heavily influenced by the US.

I did that once, back when I was afraid of actually installing Linux. It ran painfully slow, though.

Too obvious. I think something like "OpenOffice.org to dump OpenDocument in favor of Microsoft formats" would have been funnier.
They have been obsoleted by tabbed browsing and Ctrl-Tab.
