I have also made it my policy not to purchase any software that uses any sort of internet activation any longer. It will come back to bite you some day. as you have already experienced.

As for Windows XP, well I am using a Corporate version with no activation (yes it still has WGA, but I simply refuse to install the WGA Notifications whenever it is "available" and/or simply download a crack to disable it). I am also using a Corporate version of Windows Server 2003 (which does not have WGA) and Ubuntu. I will never get or use Vista. Windows XP and 2003 probably will be the last Windows I use. I also have 2 Macs.

Microsoft (and any other company that employs software activation like Symantec) will never see another cent of my money. For Adobe I still cut them some slack since it still has software that are good and has no activation, like Photoshop Elements. But I will not purchase any other Adobe products that employs activation like Photoshop or Dreamweaver (I am still using an older version of that from Macromedia).
