Ronald, MSFT might be the true source of the processor ID conspiracy. If Intel goes through with it, MSFT will be able to track how many different PCs are using the same copy of Windows dial in to get Windows updates. An automated email program could be used to query users as to their point-of-purchase and the pirate could be cornered in days, perhaps even hours.

As to whether this might lower the cost of software, don't count on it.
