I'm an equal-opportunity laissez-faire type. Just as M$ has a right to protect their property, it's M$'s responsibility to protect their property--not the customers' responsibility. I'd tell M$ to count their own d**ned licenses; and if it affected my business, I'd be looking at open-source alternatives. This doesn't make sense--if M$ can tell a phony OS over the internet (or claim to be able), why should the customer have to do anything? I must be missing something. (Besides my marbles. :D )Quote:
"It has nothing to do with licence counting right now, but companies will need to expend time and effort and some money to administer this, in the name of helping Microsoft recoup revenue lost to piracy," he said. "There needs to be more of a benefit [for customers]. Linux and Mac communities will try to make hay with this, but this will not be the tipping point."
