I had to change a flat tire..

... suddenly I could not open the cars door...

I smashed the window and forced my way in only to see that I could not start
the car.. it was blocked somehow... there was a flashing light near the
speedometer...

it read: You have to call the manufacturer to activate your car again
because you have changed something in the mechanical configuration.
We say you are a thief.. now you have to prove you arent!

I would never buy an automobile where there was a clause in the purchase
agreement that allowed the manufacturer to do such a thing.

As you know, not not every computer event has a related vehicle comparison
and this ludicrous comparison of yours is evidence to that fact.
However your anti Microsoft agenda needs to feed on all it can even if all
you have is fiction as in your post.

As you never stated not one time the car was yours, I'd figure that's
perfectly normal behavior on any decent vehicle when you smash out the
window and crawl in like that.

You've activated the anti-theft system.

But you would buy an OS with such a clause...?

If MS was not so anti-customer, so many of it's customers would not turn
anti-MS.

I don't think they build operating systems in redmond, either. Just
defective crap, pawned off on the public as an OS...

Get OnStar® by GM.
They can remotely unlock your car door for you.
Only a moron like you would break a window to get into your own car.
You view every problem as a nail cause all you've got in your tool box
(brain) is a hammer.
You're really just a fukkin idiot aren't you?

"But you would buy an OS with such a clause...?"
The answer is obvious.
And the fact Microsoft does this is well known with plenty of information
available to any and all who desire it.

"If MS was not so anti-customer,..."
Perhaps but Tiberius is not that kind.
The continuing need to change handles in an effort to stay visible to those
who desire otherwise is a good indicator of a troll.
