Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

Wonder how far they will go in removing certain types of software.

What prevents some companies from doing this is lawsuits. TECHNICALLY crapware is legal, so you could get sued for blocking/removing it.
I think Microsoft has enough money to fight off any lawsuits. They would probably LOVE to go to court and establish a legal precedent to label some of this crap as deceptive.

It's one time I'd actually want MS to win in court.
