  Theo:
  I went to the web site you posted.  It is 
  very interesting and informative.
   
  Microsoft may be shooting themselves in the foot 
  with  their plan to have 3 year subscriptions for their 
  software.
  The results will be that users, particularly big 
  users like large companies and governments, will be tempted to switch to other 
  operating systems such as Linux; and there will be more software piracy. There 
  is no system of copy protection that can't be broken by a knowledgeable and 
  determined hacker. In the past 2 years the computer systems of major 
  international banks, large companies, and government agencies have 
  been penetrated. My guess is that these security systems were/are more 
  difficult to crack than Microsoft's anti-pirating schemes. It may also 
  attract the attention of the Justice Department notwithstanding the present 
  occupant of the White House.
   
  comments please
