Wait till the virus writers get a hold of that bandwidth!  We'll see them
resend "MS WinTV" (.NET, of course) complete with security holes (from the
source code they stole).  Your TV will reboot and dial up and upload all
your files, personal data, etc., to some location in outer Slobovia while
you sleep.  Then you'll get the bill for the phone call(s) (disguised
telephone number, of course) and your credit cards will all be maxed.  And
because you use MSMoney, it will all look legitimate and you will be legally
obligated to pay...  All that, compliments of Bill!  Maybe that's what they
mean by  "shared source" :)

Thanks,
