I am more than capable of determining for myself whether I am in compliance with licensing – I don’t need Microsoft’s help. If you are beholden to an activation process, then the slightest bug in that process can bring your system down (I have seen this happen to others). And if supposedly free upgrades change key formats, it can render your key inoperable (this has happened to me personally). If you are dependent on the original key, then your use of the software is dependent on your ability to keep records of that key. Instead I use key generators and other such enabling software. However, I no longer ever go through the standard activation process or use the keys I am given. I pay the money if required, although most often it is not for the software that I use. Seriously, I make sure that I am a legitimate user of every piece of software that I use. In the latter case, then you are not affected by this, which means that you also think this is a good idea as it creates a clear contrast between restrictive software models and freer ones. Or do you like living in a world under the illusion that what you are doing is right because you are not caught? Either you support proprietary licenses and pay for them or you don’t support them. I see no reason for Microsoft users not to appreciate and support Microsoft’s efforts. Show us that you have some courage and put your money where your mouth is. Why woudn’t you? You obviuosly agree with the proprietary software development model and therefore you should enthusiastically finance it. The first time you boot the OS, it will scan your iris and send a copy to Microsoft along with your license number.Īll proprietary software users ought to be in favor of this or similar schemes that put an end to software piracy. I propose that Microsoft distributes some form of retinal scan hardware with each Longhorn license. It deprives Microsoft of much needed revenue that they need to continue improving their products. Under no circumstances should two people be able to use the same software license on two computers. Please Microsoft make sure you do everything in your power to stamp out piracy.
