RE:"And I'm sure DOS is much faster than Win2K or WinXP. Performance is not going to be the reason to upgrade. Likewise, with computers and upgrades as cheap as they are, a performance penalty will not prevent users from upgrading to WinXP." Ah shucks Ten, you know you are too young to remember DOS... Let's at least compare GUIs to GUIs... Most people wil get XP because that's what comes preloaded. Pure upgrades are a different story. RE:"Of course, there are other reasons, like that Big Brother licensing thing. How come you're not making as much noise over this as you are over a harmless P3 serial number?" Could you explain it a little more to me? I know there is something called Passport that makes you a nice e-commerce target... Also, I know that you get an install on one computer. Which begs the questions...who thinks they are going to borrow their friends XP CD and install it on their computer?...like they did with previous versions...hummm Also, it seems that MS has set it self up for more lawsuits...
