Well what pees me off the most is when they not only do that, but also 
set off a reboot timer without your knowledge. You return to the machine 
to find all your work/browsing/etc has disappeared just because the M$ 
police deemed a reboot necessary *now*!
Maybe there's a clause in the eula we've missed, addressing an on demnd 
"temporary change of ownership" of the PC!?!
