New Eula for the latest WMP patch says if you use it Microsoft now has the right to d/l any patch they see fit and it may activate, and with Digital Rights Management, may break your computer and they don't even have to tell you.  "We will attempt to make an effort to post our intentions on a web site".  This is gettin out of hand guys.  Can someone help me with my Mandrake 8.1 install?
