Obnoxious, sure, but not hard to beat. (Assuming for some insane reason you are
actually still using Windows for anything other than playing games)
You just add an entry in your DNS server with a zone matching the hostname that
you want to override. And if they have the IP addresses of MSFT-controlled DNS
servers hardcoded, you just add an iptables (or equivalent) entry in your
firewall (note - this is a seperate device than your wintendo PC, not a peice
of software running on your PC)
