| Wrong, if it has benefit to you, then you determined that it was a

The "required to purchase" phrase is an interesting one. The licence, a non
portable property, is a scam, and a highly profitable one and one can
understand why the scammer wouldn't be happy with people who don't play the
game. Course, the licence or whatever you want to call it, has not been
successfully brought to court in the States and the country where I live in
has -- repeatedly -- disagreed with MS and you and has passed judgment, time
and time again, saying copying for personal use is -- get this -- NOT
STEALING and legal. Want urls for the judgments? In the end you're just
being a brown-nosing shill for the scammers, hiding behind false ethics and
righteous moral indignation.
