That was for the whole activation mess. Now that the sheep have
accepted activation as a "normal" way to do business, they are upping
the ante and forcing you to secede all control over your PC to them.
They know what's best for you.
I thought of Charlie Coleman's prediction many many moons ago that
Windows would disable certain features remotely. If this article
is correct, then indeed Charlie was right all along.
Exactly. When the Win2K SP3 patch came with a modified EULA that
claimed the right to do exactly this, and many of us complained, the
cheerleaders poo-poohed the complaints, saying that Microsoft would
never do this.
Uh huh, right.
