Ed, >> They'll keep out the good people, too. <<
Obviously this is true, but how many? Do you have any statistics you are basing this on, or are you just generalizing? I am not talking about a glitch here and there. I think we can agree on the fact this does happen. We might have read the same stories when the person is on the plane working on the big proposal and the DRM kicks in, and she does not have her installation CD. It happens. How often and what percentage of the usage? Let us compare this to something I think has happened to just about everyone on the list. How many more people have had the program disable because of a bug we put in the applications we have written? Or how many times have you been using another application that has a bug in it that disables you from doing your job? I doubt the DRM issue is as big a deal as normal/regular crippling bugs, but I am guessing (and maybe generalizing).
