Well worth reading. The best defence is to get rid of windoze and don't but from anyone employing copy protection. Yeah, it's somewhat of a nusience but if you continue to use wincrap and similar stuff you are condoning their practices.

I have never bought a piece of copy protected software in over forty years of computing. The license agreement for my OS says that I may not simultaneously _run_ the system on more than one computer at a time.

One of the replies to the article suggested that it was another reason to use a Mac. That might have been true a few years ago but Apple is now in bed with Redmond.
