They must have gone completely nuts. I just read the thing again. Are they totally insane!? This isn't the mid 90'es anymore. People are generally hard to impress and demand a working solution rather than eye-candy. Looks like one last feeble attempt from Microsoft to set the pace.
Also they seem overly naive thinking anyone is using their product for any other reason than familiarity. They should indulge piracy (as they also have in internal communications). If people couldn't steal a free copy of windows at home they'd never ever use it at work. This DRM mania isn't thought through. It bears all the marks of panic.
