Well, he's posting from what appears to be Augusta, Maine - maybe your
sarcasm detector needs re-calibrating.

Only for the third conviction. (Seriously, at one time, some states in
the USA did have rather stiff penalties for speeding, including suspension
for a year for the first conviction 10 MPH over the limit, three years for
the second, and a permanent loss of license for the third conviction.)

Sounds like a great idea to me, but you obviously haven't read the license
you agreed to when you installed that crap - you waved ALL rights to
anything, including the expectation that the software might attempt to do
something useful. If said software causes your computer to explode and
burn down your house - that's your problem, not microsoft's.
