Be nice

With a high number of false positives showing up under WGA, what makes us think this will go any better?

To be fair, this avoids a lot of the gotchas that MS has with XP activation, since it doesn't need to look at the video card, hard drive, etc. to fingerprint a system. Of course, if your mobo dies you're SOL.

The whole "all drivers must be signed by MS or the sytem gets locked" thing is not being well-received by the hardware vendors who have previously opted out of MS' (expensive) driver signing program on the grounds that it was costly and otherwise of no benefit. Well, HP has other things to worry about for now.
