I hope someone manages to write a crack or something that enables the same behaviour in non-EEA locales, if only to see what mental gymnastics MS will engage in to explain why that would be bad for users.

How are they going to implement it anyway? Based on the location you provide while setting Windows up? IP lookup?

I mean, there needs to be a safe way, so I invite everyone to become European for this patch. :-)
