Look, this is all bullcrap. If any of the statements about video games inflicting peoples personalities were true, my generation (who played pac man all day) would be running around in narrow corridors and stuff their mouths with pills while listening to repetitive music.
Get a nice overview on Microsoft anti-piracy efforts, put some popcorns on the stove and find a comfy couch.
As pointed out in previous comments, those of us who would never dream of paying for something like Windows won't have to because of this initiative. Nobody will be stopped by this. I'm completely confident that I will be able to find an activation crack the minute I need to reinstall XP. That's the way it's been since prehistoric days, Microsoft didn't have a clue then, they don't have a clue now.
The fact that I've bought a number of computers since XP was released, and ALL of those "included" Windows XP but only as a ghost image on a hidden partition of the harddrive, is reason enough for me to use pirated copies.
I hope they produce more and similar "anti piracy" efforts. It's hilarious. And I love the feeling of being a criminal every time I use their software, it's like I'm getting back at them, one activation a time.

Unreliable search stats say it's not THAT bad. But what do India have against PHP?

Oh, you guys are still reading those "amendments"?

Oh wai...
I've always wondered, why is it called /etc anyway? Et cetera?

I had this experimental, revolutionary super computer once, maybe Intel got inspiration from that.
It was called "Amiga 500".

PM: "Yeah, sure, we've done this millions of times before, no problem. We'll just send a mail right to the database, right?" (Looks at me)
