If this model is not depricated by the corporate IT community we are screwed. 
Somehow I simply cant believe this will last and will go the way of all road 
kill. Even from a pure commerical side this pure foolishness due to the 
inherent liabilities it imposes. By way of example (this is not for real so 
pls dont get up tight) say someone uploads a ton of kiddy porn or solicites 
minors into unacceptable acts, by def'n and license, MS is colpable in these 
activities are they not? How can they defend themselves on such action, they 
cannot claim that they dont own the material and they cannot claim violation 
of a service agreement. Strange.
