These days, I don't think the "evil" of MS is the thing to be 
concerned about. I'm more concerned about unpredictably and 
unreliability. The potential for mess-ups or mind-changing or 
other surprises down the road. Not that it necessarily WILL 
happen, but I think being MS its worth being prepared, just in 
case.
