Does this bother anyone else? I know it's to cut down on
software piracy, but it basically means I pay for a one-user
license for Windows, but I'm only allowed to use it on the
machine it came with unless I jump through hoops and hack the
files to load it onto another machine. It's part of the
reason I'm still using W95 OSR2 (which I have a "pure" CD
for). (The other reason is that my 560 doesn't have a CD-ROM
drive so I can't use its recovery CD - copying its contents to
the HD doesn't work since the first thing the recovery process
does is repartition and reformat the HD. :-)
