May '01 Headlines

As some Windows users out there know, the next release of Windows is WinXP.

MS wants to implement software activation into the OS-- this process makes it inevitably impossible to run the OS for a good period of time, unless downloading a hardware-defined activation key. The so-called reasoning for this is for software priacy to grind to a halt, as many users redistribute their Windows CD among friends.

For the majority of law-abiding citizens, activation can be a punishment to users who constantly reinstall their OS, or change system hardware. When Windows is reinstalled, or a new graphics card is installed (for example), the activation key generated through Microsoft's original scope of your system will not work.

Thus, some hard-working users will have to by another copy of Windows.
