There's also a thread on slashdot about this. All I can say to those businesses hit with this is: "Ha Ha Ha Haaaa!" So much for microsoft's superior software.

The Wizard began popping up on PCs yesterday. One source at a major global energy company told us many of the corporate's 70,000 Windows 2000 PCs have been affected.
I don't see a problem here. That's just one company with 70000 Winderz rigs. So how about this? Every one of these users simply fills out the registration wizard every time it pops up. That'd really show 'em!   :D

Well, you'd probably do a decent job of knocking their servers over - then they'd sue you for doing DoS attacks on their registration servers.
Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
