Oh.  Well, then, I meant to post that first link :)

I truely believe that MS is doing themselves a lot of harm with this scheme.
Having to call MS every time I reinstall my OS (once every 1-3 months, avg.),
doesn't sound very good to me.  It may just be the point I turn my last
Windows machine into Linux, or BSD, etc, and run a Windows session in VMWare.
(backup the VMWare image, resore it each time it's needed.  Problems solved).
