If it's "web-based", why does even one byte need to be sent out?
Anything more than a password and it isn't web-based.

Isn't the goal to rid the world of PCs and those horribly overpaid and overall liability "service support staff" in the process, make everything web-based, and screw the populace with ridiculous licensing subscriptions and dive in for the kill by making sure this new generation of bloatware forces us all (who still have decent paying jobs) to pay insipid amounts of money every month for broadband?

So why am I angry? Keep up the pig-slop work, Microsoft. In the end, you'll not lose the customers because, let's face it, they're dumber than snot on an outhouse door in Calgary during the month of January and don't mind losing freedom for "security" (if you can call it that...)
