Why Only On One PC?
"Bruce Chambers" wrote Greetings -- Let's put the responsibility where it lies, shall we? We bonafide, honest customers are not inconvenienced by WPA. We're inconvenienced by the acts of the software pirates who have made WPA and other copy protection schemes necessary. Are you serious? Regardless of the reason, WPA is an inconvenience for bonafide users and isn't one for users of cracked versions. Just as we inconvenienced by having to lock our homes and cars to keep common thieves out -- it's not the manufacturer of the locks and automobiles who are the root cause of the inconvenience, it's the dishonesty of others. Just as we resent having to pay taxes to keep convicted criminals behind bars. Bruce Chambers Gosh, so when is Linux coming up with a WPA? LOL! Alias -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - RAH "Alias" wrote in message ... Just curious, who invented this "license usage"? Microsoft, per chance? WPA does not stop piracy. The *only* thing it does is inconvenience bonafide customers. Alias -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace.

Chiquita Banana could care less if two people eat it, no one eats it or you use it as a dildo and then smoke the peels. After all you *did* pay for the product and it is therefore *yours*. Unfortunately, the rules of usage for an MS OS doesn't stop piracy and only gets bonafide customers upset with Microsoft for the inconvenience and probably don't have much sympathy with MS' excuse that they're "losing money to piracy" when their CEO is the richest man in the world.
