Dan, never assume what the Evil Empire is going to do.  They may or may not put this into the dlls in Windows7 (TM).  Since I'm strictly Mac for now, I don't have any idea either.  Maybe someone with this operating system can look into this and give us feedback, but I'm with you as this is another method of operation of this company.
