You've got it wrong! See http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/microsoft-replaces-vista-'kill%11switch'-with-army-of-mercenaries-20071205578/ for the correct story :-P.

Apple could make their products from pig manure, demand the first born of any iPod owner and take ten years off an iPhone users life and they'd still not get any complaints from the mac fan boys. They are blindly loyal, just like you MS fan buys ;-).
