Re: Upgrading FMP7 on an XP box compared to a Mac

[Peter Bates]

Steven, it should be oblivious I'm a Mac user since I'm going to take exception to your comment. How can this stupid Windows requirement help to control illegal copies and piracy? What's to stop someone from having a COPY of the CD instead of the original CD? Sounds to me like poor behavior on the Windows side. It seems like everything on the Windows side requires more steps than necessary.

Actually it's the Mac OS that has the incorrect behavior here in my
view. Windows logo certification requires the presence of the original
installer (CD or network) to upgrade. This helps control illegal copies
and piracy.
