Mike,

>Product Activation is completely anyoumous and does not require an MS Passport.

I said that "in the future" people may be more comfortable with ideas like Passport, etc. I never said they have to use it now, as I know they do not.

>You should try and get a job there to save them :-)

I am happy where I am, thanks.

>Well, its like censorship, if you allow a little, you might as well bring it all on, right? But like I said, WPA is completely anyomous, I don't see this as the start of somethign bad. If I saw a passport activation, I would be in the same boat as you.

Well, I always figured your eyes were wide open...no worries there! Yeah, it is like censorship, only MS has to answer to the commercial sector, so if they go too far, they could get very hurt. *smile*
