Ok... I can't resist.  Perhaps we need to start a VLA (Vendor License 
Agreement) for our "End User" computers.

It could be especially handy for those who have had the delightful 
experience of a Microsoft "critical update" patch (re-)installing the 
Outlook application without any request, permission and without the 
required "critical" security patches...

The initial agreement would hold a vendor responsible for the installation 
of any software on your computer you specifically did not request.  I also 
wonder if that same VLA could extend to web applets and pop-ups/unders?

;-)

Smirking,
