A LEGAL CATHSTROPHY AWAITS ??

One particular issue in the MS activation schema not seriously considered: Due to the inherent situation of ongoing instantaneous technological improvements in hardware: As a personal user every few months a new MOBO and processor uplifts the extraneous overhead needs of contemporary software. [certainly inclusive of W2K !] Each and every upgrade requires a new CPU with a new processor ID. My license to any sw product is actually realized a license to the ONE USER that operates that particularprogram.[as opposed to the framed license to a particular machine] If Microsoft [or their corporate greedful lemmings] should then feel the license is aligned to any one particular computer's ID then they should therefore be privy to exchange each and every License Registration Number for a new replacement serialization as each and every user upgrades their systems, gratis. ADDITIONALLY Microsoft should be economically liable for ANY LEGAL DAMAGES due to their continuing proof of incompetence of designing defective software products regardless of any disclaimer pronounced by their own EULA creation enclosed in each and every product they manufacture. One particular example is the release of Internet Explorer ver 5.5 that is completely incompatible with Windows 2000 pro. You upgrade to 5.5 and the browser continually crashes thereafter only to have to reinstall the OS from scratch. Even Microsoft admits to this error, under wraps, though has done nothing to improve the situation. Is this the sort of progress Darwin had in mind?
