Microsoft writes a law for Oklahoma

Microsoft writes a law for Oklahoma giving it the right to inspect your hard drive, delete your files and applications, and call the police if it finds anything illegal. Is your state next?

Well, another debate about American "Freedom". Seems these days there's no such thing as personal freedom, just freedom of the state and big fat corporations.

Of course, if these guys accidentally delete something legal -- eg perhaps you've never officially registered because you installed while offline -- then they will be tampering with your computer, which should mean big fines and maybe jail time for the executives.

If you ask me, that's another nail in the coffin for Windows. Why is it these guys just don't get it?
