5. They'll bundle it, make the icon easy to find and click...
and use deftly written words to make you pony up. Emotional manipulation.

Even make it enabled by default, possibly with a 30 day trial.

Anything the dope dealer needs to do to create a sufficiently addicted customer base is what MS will do.

3. Good work if you can get it
1. Create a problem whilst profiting from it

2. Profit further by trying to clean up the mess you made in the first place

4. Self-sustaining business. It's a thing of beauty, really.
