    How long will it be before Microsoft starts charging it's customer base a yearly "subscription" to virus definitions?

    They aren't about to provide a free anti virus solution to clean up their mess for free! This way Microsoft can have it's high priced OS "and" continued revenue - nice.

    "Why? Because IT BELONGS TO THEM!"

    Are you serious?

    When is the last time you bought a car, changed the tires, oil, fixed a fender, replaced a windshield or had it repaired after an accident and had to REACTIVATE IT! HUH?

    Well, I disagree with this whole "It belongs to them thing". When I buy something, I want to own it, it mine, I paid for it, and I will do with what I want. If I can't do that, then I don't want to play, hello Linux, FreeBSD or whatever I find thatI can call my own. Period.

    That is quite possibly the wisest thing I have read in this whole stupid MS activation matter. This is not just a good point, it is the undeniable truth.

    I even "may" purchase one copy (haven't decided if I am ready to upgrade yet, I am happy with 2000), but I'll be damned if I'm going to buy a copy for every computer in my house (I have 5).

    I have a Linux server running now, and may even keep one windows box around just for heck of it, but I'm not even sure about that.

    I will seriously be looking for an alternative. MS may be shooting itself in the foot or maybe not, all I know for sure is, they will NOT sell 5 copies to me!
