    What do you mean first XP system? Iv'e been running XP for several wee- err, first *sold* XP system. Never Mind.

    Indeed it is a sad world when a software company would dare to violate our civil liberties by designing an operating system that is hard to pirate.

    Thoughtless bastards - what next, people fitting 'locks' on doors to make it harder for burglars? Selfish fuckers.
