And another question for those of you that have bought generic OEM
copies of XP Pro:
How do you like it that people with pirated copies of XP, can now get
copies of FULL RETAIL at the price you paid for OEM? That means they
get the free support calls and the EULA permission to move their copy of
XP to a totally different computer!
See, MS don't really care about you. If they did then those that could
prove that they purchase FULL Retail at a FULL price would get rebates
to thank them for not being a pirate.
Those that could prove they bought bought retail Upgrades would get a
rebate too!
And those that could prove they bought generic OEM would be upgraded to
the FULL Retail EULA.
See MS never thinks of the effects that positive reinforcement has on
it's customers. Instead of rewarding those that were always legit, they
reward those that weren't.
Instead, basically all you who paid the full price for you legit copies
of XP are played as Microsoft's suckers. Congratulations!
