	This is going to piss off a massive segment of their market: Teens.

	This is a market that simultaneously runs a web browser, a chat
program, some music or other entertainment program and then runs one or two
other applications in order to do their homework.

	It's almost like Microsoft has decided to drink a larger quantity of
stupid and destroy itself.
