Brilliant idea! In addition, that would be a good start towards
solving the overpopulation problem.

Actually, what would, most likely, happen is that once the Microsoft
lusers begin to drool over Son of Internet, AOL will launch an
invasion of the new internet, then Microsoft will discover it, then
Microsoft will want to own it, the politicians will want to regulate
it, and Microsoft will try to port something like Palladium to it,
then an Internet 3 will have to be launched. It would be far simpler
to just LART all of the people, worldwide, who like using Microsoft
products, in addition to deporting the aforementioned 55% of the
U.S. population willing to sacrifice liberty and freedom for more
security.
