A recent lawsuit filed against Microsoft should have all companies reexamining their privacy policies to determine what information they are actually collecting about customers, and what they can possibly do with it.

It would be economically challenging to see if that time comes when they disable all these PCs out there that are improperly licensed. I don't think MS will ever do it -- (this will create market havoc)- uncompromising losses, etc. My copy is registered with them with my name on it and absolutely nothing to worry about -- and one more thing, the support cycle part on these Windows are short lived, so why even care so much about it?

I guess I am looking at it as a tester. For some reasons, I'd feel better knowing I have an open source client and none of these concerns me.
