Copy Protection doesn't sell
I guess Norton didn't learn from from the Turbo Tax
debacal of last year. Greedy company is upset because
they are losing a few bucks due to copying. Greedy
company puts an untested copy protection into effect.
Customers complain, don't buy product, company loses
more money then it would have to copying, apologizes and
removes copy protection. I guess the brain trusts at Norton
didn't learn this lesson and will suffer the same fate. M$
only gets away with this nonscense because they are the
only game in town and its either their way or nothing.
