What happens when you can't use the software anymore? I bought my Dell laptop and the motherboard got fried and it won't let me install my XP Home Edition on another computer unless its exclusively a Dell machine. Doesn't that make the consumer the one who is ripped off?
Do you think that they would lower the price if all hacking of the software and illegal installs disappeared? I have seen programs (illegal Microsoft software in the US) in other countries for sell on shelves.
