Get a grip!

I'm a reseller, and an OEM, and a repair guy. I've spent in excess of 800 hours on the phone with India since this annoying activation scheme started a few years ago, simply trying to activate/reactivate absolutely legit copies of their software. Every hack that comes along is one more temptation to skip the absolute waste associated with the most profitable company on the planet becoming ever more profitable.

And that whole bag of drivel MS uses to try to convince us that they're doing it for our good, the good of the honest retailers, is idiocy at it's finest. If they were truly attempting to level the playing field, not increase their profits, they'd charge Dell, and Lenovo, and HP, and the rest of the majors the same price per copy they charge us little guys. But, they don't. So the big guys help the big guys get richer, while helping to insure us little guys never get big enough to be a threat to the status quo.

Snarl on, McRuuph. Just don't be surprised if the rest of us giggle when you do.
