With the new security patch recently announced, Microsoft claims the right
to update and even disable your computer.

You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software
protected by digital rights management ('Secure Content'), Microsoft may
provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be
automatically downloaded onto your computer. These security related
updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and
use other software on your computer. If we provide such a security update,
we will use reasonable efforts to post notices on a web site explaining
the update."
