It's Microsoft's piss-poor system. Why should I have to be a software engineer to determine if my Windows is legal? How would you feel if you took your car in for a tune-up and the mechanic said, "I'm sorry, your engine wasn't a genuine GM, it was built in somebody's backyard, so we pulled it out and disabled your car!" Would that be your fault because you're not a master mechanic and should have known that when you bought the car? How long would this lame argument last if auto companies operated like Microsoft has been allowed to?
General malcontent and non-conformist!
