That is alot for $50. I would recommend it to my friends and family so they would stop calling me to fix their computers.

Yeah, I know about that. These days, I tell them that I only touch Linux machines; Windows is their problem.

So, one gets to pay $50usd so that a multinational can prowl around inside one's computer every night? Does one have to disable one's firewall for this service?

Typical Micro$oft. Sell you crap software and then make you pay them to snoop on you and fix the crap they've sold you.

I suspect that when Windows Vista comes out later this year and folks find they've got to buy a brand new PC to run it they'll start gradually shifting away from the evil empire.

Microsoft OS's as the tragical comical. First the danger and then the joke. Well put, radiorahim.
