While I agree that any producer or manufacturer has the right to protect thier product from 'pirates' I feel that microsoft have gone over the top with this. Not only are they gathering much more information than is required to confirm the validity of thier product they are demanding in the EULA that you agree to them 'sharing' the info so harvested with other companies. I am truly disgusted with this black mail and we will be putting our remaining business computing on Linux platforms asap. Mr Gates et al can kiss goodbye to our $$$$.
