Scumbria, It doesn't HAVE to be made mandatory. Microsoft can't Microsoft make it something like... Dialog BOX... Windows2000 has found that your cpu is ID encrypted. Please sign on to our database (so we can record your ID number) to complete the installation. This of course is for your own protection. I don't think it will come to Jerry having to make a decision based on this. ----Figure this scenario though... Year 2001...you open your mail, it says... ----NOTICE---- State of California As you know, all retail sales transactions in the State of California are subject to the 8% sales tax. This includes tranactions with out of state vendors. If the out of state vendor doesn't collect the tax you are obligated by law to fill out form XYZ and submit the tax to the Sate of California Dept of revenue no later than March 15 for transactions in the prior year. Using the "Truth in interstate commerce" (1999) law we have determined that you (as identified by your internally coded CPU) made $23,400 in out of state purchases for the year 1999. No taxes were collected on these purchases. You are liable for a tax of $1872 plus penality (20% per month) of $4492 for a total of $6364. Please remit... ---- Jim
