You have to be real dumb to ever trust MS about anything.
Remember their 'Playsforsure' music store that quickly became 'plays unless
you own an MS ZUNE player' then 'Doesn't Play At All' once the DRM
activation servers started to get switched off.
How long will it be before they start to kill off the ability to re-install
XP and run it for more than 30 days by turning off those activation servers
as well.
