It coulf be that becouse linux doesent twist your arm into "regestering"
that we dont get the full count. Notice how the MS apps keep insisting you
register , after every install , and poip up that nanoying reminder every
30 days , or the office identifier in the docs you create , or the scan
that MS does when you register win98.
Talk anout invasion fo privacy. Look at all the flack the NYC/NJS police
are getting for there "stop and frisk" and "racial profiling". Yet you here
almost nothing when billy wants a peak at you pc or wants to know who
created ach and every MS document. Matter of fact isent there a second MS
app that puts its own ID Number in each document you create ? Cant remenber
which one it was.
