Not just the law but the public as well, again, my original example was an argument against accepting something just because it is up front about what it intends to do; not related to, or directed at Google.

The driver doesn't even work? I've been able to use many vista drivers in Windows 7 even though they aren't officially supported.

Who needs drugs when you've got Nic Cage.
