You are right. But if I don't want it/don't need it, and worse yet, is using the resources of my computer for no reason except to shill another buck out of me: Then go away.

And here we go again. Just got a new notebook and suddenly my life isn't complete without Windows Live Essentials? No, I don't want it/need it and believe me I'll some how get through the rest of my life without it. I will uninstall it as soon as I possibly can.

Wasn't what the anti-trust suit against MicroSoft back in '90s about? Oh yeah, Dubbya got in and said everything was fine. I feel so much better now.
