    Well, I saw it with my own eyes- repeatedly, whatever the reason. I 
was told the difference was between Pro and Home, but it could also have 
been service packs. The key here is, it should never have happened: the 
devices were only designed to work in Windows, not Linux.  In Linux, 
this kinda thing would be expected.

    Nah, I just don't care about Microsoft anymore.  The 
newly-discovered botnet (Ruskov?) mining for user's data [just for the 
last decade or so!], all the Zunes locking up today...anyone who buys 
it, deserves it.  I'm tired of trying to argue against something that's 
obviously a mass hysteria.
