I have initially not WGAed my home computer, my girlfriends computer, and my work computer just because the Big Brother concept pisses me off. All those machine have legit licenses and my work has a MSDN license for me ontop of those licenses. This has prompted me, a long time Visual Studio supporter (sadly even in the MFC days), to start dual booting my machines with linux and practicing C++ development with cross-platform IDEs. I fear the day when my OS is owned and leased to me from Microsoft as my content provider. We do not need another cable company.
