Ugh.. Don't you just love that. Like Second Life. Their 3D conversion 
code is *wrong* and has been since day one (one reason using it is a 
pain in the ass), but it would "break" millions of scripts to fix it, 
and would be, their words, "confusing", to include an alternate version 
that did work... Gah!

   If Schrödingers_cat is alive or version > 98 {
     if version = "Vista" {
       call slow_by_half();
       call DRM_everything();
     }
     call functional_code();
   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}
