And what part of this don't you think is reasonable?
How much did Microsoft pay you for your wasted time? Everyone here
who is defending WGA seems to be so morally outraged at the concept
of "stealing" a non-exhaustible resource, so I can only imagine their
outrage at Microsoft stealing your time, which is certainly not
unlimited.
C'mon, all you morally upright citizens! Let's see you defend this
actual theft of time.
You crack me up Ed. Your clutching at anything now, aren't you?
