The Wizard began popping up on PCs yesterday. One source at a major global energy company told us many of the corporate's 70,000 Windows 2000 PCs have been affected.

I don't see a problem here. That's just one company with 70000 Winderz rigs. So how about this? Every one of these users simply fills out the registration wizard every time it pops up. That'd really show 'em!   :D

Well, you'd probably do a decent job of knocking their servers over - then they'd sue you for doing DoS attacks on their registration servers.
