Redmond's plan to make you install Windows authentication software before downloading vital security patches is a reasonable and gentle effort to limit piracy.

What troubles me about Microsoft's program is that in order to validate my copy of Windows, I must identify myself. Having to provide Microsoft with my personal information scares the crap out of me. You think that the U.S. Government is big brother? Think twice. God only knows what Microsoft will think they are "entitled" to do with this information.
