I always knew Best Buy and Microsoft were joined at the hip but didn't know how bad it was. I know you can't buy a computer from Best Buy/Future Shop without Microsoft Windows but the following goes far beyond the definition of sanity.
This guy buys a laptop from Best Buy. Best Buy then signed him up to an MSN account with the credit card he used to buy the laptop with without his knowledge or consent. After the six month trial to MSN ended, the guy starts getting billed from Microsoft on his credit card.
High court rejects Microsoft, Best Buy appeal (http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/15/technology/bc.apfn.scotus.microsoft.ap/index.htm?postversion=2007101510)
