| Yeah. F that alot. This would be the equivalent of MS formatting your drive if a WGA violation is detected. God forbid an application crashes in just the wrong way to blow the eFuse. Just say no to DRM that puts your data at unnecessary risk.

Just go ahead and ask Milestone owners. They'll tell you that there's no sensationalism about it. |
