Q: "MS assumes you are guilty of piracy unless you prove otherwise,
something you don't care to address."

A: False assumption. MSFT is only interested in making sure valid
licensing is in effect on one's computer. Microsoft software is licensed
to you, not sold. Your right to use the license is spelled out in the EULA
both in the Product and with future updates.

Q: "Are you really that logic impaired, Carey?"

A: Yes, when it comes to irrational logic espoused by those who
make-up silly statements!
