Microsoft users don't understand things like this, Michael.  Believe me.

If they ever figure it out, they probably won't care because they will 
be busying themselves with furrowing their brow and looking concerned 
over "privacy and security issues" that they totally don't understand, 
but have to appear concerned over in order to make it thru life.

It must free up amazing amounts of time (heh - spent on reboots and 
reinstalls) to be so ignorant of the world around you.
