Feel free to give @muenchen a follow already, even if the account is marked inactive at this moment. I guess that will change soon!

When I drive a car without a valid driver's license, proof of insurance or tag/license plate, I get stopped by the police, my car will be towed and I can either walk home or might end up in jail and face severe fines, a probation period and loss of my driver's license.
When Microsoft runs 45 gas turbines without a state permit, they get 45 days to fix it and a $1.07M fine (which is petty cash for an operation this size) and don't even have to power down the turbines.
