Re: [IMail Forum] IE Registry Keys/Values/E-machines

    Hot Flash, under the M$ new licensing system you would have to buy a new
OS license for every machine you did this to.  It sounds like a scam to me
but any scam your lawyers can defend is simply good business according to
M$.

    But every school and major enterprise I know of does exactly the same.
Dump the junk and reload with the tried and true software your company uses.

    You don't have to say it, we're all thinking the same thing I'm sure.
It Stinks!
