Anyway, Microsoft does as it wills with the software it writes. In my
opinion, I think that is OK. Free country.
*** First, the use of 'Some Of' in reference to MVPs in the below text
means that I recognize that only 'Some Of' the MVPs are programmed MS
Clones (as referred to by others). Some MVPs have shown self thought
outside the MS brain washing box. It is the latter that we see
courtesy from and more people flocking to for help. Funny how that
works.***
I agree with that but I still can't seem to understand 'Some Of' these
silly MVP's company rhetoric to the question of how making honest
paying customers of XP go through the activation scheme of their
legally paid for copy of XP keeps pirates from pirating XP, who
(pirates) don't have to deal with the activation scheme.
But you know, since Pirates don't have to activate, then the answer is
NO, activation does nothing to fight piracy so in order to come up
with an answer to the original question that doesn't make MS look like
the idiot it is, 'Some Of' the silly little MVP's must resort to
reverse rhetoric to try to lead the conversation in a more MS positive
direction and away from its present illogical focus which is fighting
piracy by alienating the honest paying customers.
Example of what one silly MVP gave as his/her answer to the original
question... Activation keeps me (an honest paying customer) from
copying the software and using it elsewhere. What a canned MS answer.
Think about it.... If I were going to copy their software and use it
on multiple machines, I wouldn't be an honest paying customer now
would I? I would be a pirate and using the many methods on the web
offered to circumvent the silly activation thus negating any reason
for me to be an honest paying customer in the F I R S T P L A C E.
DUH!
If you think honest paying customers having to prove they aren't
crooks before they can use the software is offensive, 'Some Of' these
silly MVP excuses for this are equally if not more offensive (as per
the above example).
