Eric, customizing the binary at download won't be cumbersome. After you've submitted your credit card number and they verified it then the website asks your PC to transmit the key. The website SW will munge it and pop it into one particular location in the binary. The munge part will be to make it harder for pirates to figure out. Then the custom binary to sent back to you. I'm not real sure about the part where the website asks your PC to transmit the key but it seems that that can't be too hard. All this comes together with the "death of shrink wrap" when all sw is transmitted over the web. If we can agree on this then we can have some really interesting discussions about what happens with AMD, older Pentiums w/o this feature, and (as you suggest) what happens when you upgrade your PC.
