I don't think it's the copyright protection that bothers me (well find a way around it and soon there will be plenty of ripers). It's the way that the redmond cowards, rather than try to write a decent piece of software are once again trying to use their financial might to push themselves to the top. I say to IBM, Dell, HP (& compaq) and all the others, lets not put up with this any more. Windows is slow, old and expensive. I think that M$ has even lost the user friendly argument now.
