The first pass at this I had a lot of crosstalk in the office and mangled things, badly. One more time: Say 3/4ths of the world offices use Microsoft software of one variety or another and these systems all need regular reloading for proper operation. After reloading, you hook up with MS's computers in Redmond to (re)license things. Say a large aircraft full of fuel torches the place (Microsoft's campus in Redmond), some fanatical bunch of wackos nuke the place, or maybe, some demented engineering student lobs a home-made EMP device onto the lawn? What's the world gonna do when the master licensing borg croaks and nobody can (re)license their office equipment warez? Is this disaster recovery a Microsoft issue or a US Government national security issue? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
