The law as written would seem to make microsoft windows nt/2k/xp/etc 
illegal to possess. Perhaps someone can print up a bunch of stickers 
"Under 750.540c enacted 03/31/2003 it is a felony to possess this 
software/device" and put them on microsoft windows boxes and hardware 
routers wherever they appear.

Wonder how long it will take for someone to discover michigan government 
officers committing 1000's of felonies...
