Also, perhaps Microsoft put that high per-call rate into play to SLOW DOWN the amount of calls they were getting, not because "Bill Gates is greedy".
This was a theory, not an interpretation.
Microsoft isn't charging for support calls regarding the worm & patching problems. Its free to anybody who calls.
I was not talking about the worm, this was in regards to an automatic deactivation/activation system based on patches applied, that can and will break due to improper filtering resulting in a higher call rate to Microsoft.
