Get your facts!
Even Corporate Users have to activate. MS requires that companies that will have huge roll outs have their KMS (Key Management Server) running on the network so that the enterprise and business editions (which most businesses will buy) will check in with the KMS every six months or possibly deactivate. If there were so many damn thieves out there stealing MS apps this would not be necessary. But they complain all day that MS is squeezing them, but they steal software. That is what happens when you steal - the sw maker clamps down and it hurts everyone. Dont use it if you dont like that. Use one of the other "so-called" alternatives. happy Linux will never get to this level. Their development style requires volunteerism. You can't build an XP or Vista replacement with Volunteer dollars and he be enterprise useable, standardized and fully compatible with other businesses running Windows. Think about it. If it really was that easy, it would be done already and some mayor 100,000 seat corporation would have signed up and it be the talk of the tech world. But it hasn't happened and never will. MS has to far of a headstart and too many billions. I am not saying "alternatives" are a lost cause. I am saying, if you think ANY solution is going to REPLACE MS WINDOWS in any version available today or future, EN MASS, you are dreaming. Deal with it!
