LOL... there's something humorous about comparing a Microsoft product to a near-sentient, evil, monitoring program that likes to mess people up
And I see your point... I'm sure the AI could just reinstall him.
I've seen clips of a fight scene on a staircase that looks pretty sweet too. But I'm also looking forward to seeing how they deal with a part of the city that isn't run-down buildings. I mean...that look is really sweet... but I want to see them do other stuff too.

Something I wondered about: When women get pregnant in the Matrix, do the AI's actually transfer the semen from the man to the woman in reality? Or do they use "stock" jizz?
It would make a certain kind of sense to have all the people you know relatively close by in reality, for such occasions...On the same block, you might say. Industrial world lines, eh?
These are the kind of things I think about during long road trips.

Well, they mention that humans aren't born in the real world anymore... they're grown. Probably genetically engineered and grown in a test tube from existing DNA combinations.
When the AI creates a new human, someone in the Matrix probably gets pregnant...but they're only pregnant inside the Matrix. The real person wouldn't be pregnant. If they were to be unplugged during their pregnancy, they would wake up to find themselves sans fetus.
Just a guess. I doubt they'll tackle this in the movies.

Which, I'm sure, was quite surprising to the Mazda, given how infrequently they get run over by home-schooled Christians! I hope that if you had run it over, you would have been good enough to help wash your muddy footprints off of it.

I'll bet he was training on executing a Matrix move, sprinting along the side of the car and then doing sexy sideflip. Alas, the cape got stuck on the rear-view mirror, and things went pretty much down-hill from there. Damnit, Omega. At least use skateboard-mittens.

I hope they do a good fight scene like the lobby scene from the original. I'm sure that Keanu Reeves will be back as Neo, but what about Carrie-Anne Moss, and Lawrence Fishburne? I've hardly heard anything about the movie.
