| The reason there are pirated versions of XP out there is because the Enterprise edition does not require activation. A couple people I go to college with have got their "special rate" copy because of this. Not because the activation scheme didn't work.
Anyway I get your point. People will find a way around it. All this does is hurt the consumers who "play by the rules" all the time with less computer know how.

Nope. I used a reg edit and step by step setup from a article in the Register about how week WinXPs protection was. Worked just fine on the Winxp pro.
But after about 6 months of having it on my system I went out and got WinXP Pro anyway. I like to use and see how some software works before I spend money. I wanted to see if WinXP would work with the programs I use before I fully converted..
As far as the CD copy protection goes it will only degrade the quality of the music, but it will NOT stop the copying. What would stop the copying would be a fair price for the CD, Not the $15 $20 that they charge now. I thought that the price would drop since the price of the CD was much less than vinal..but the greed of the music companies keeps the price up...
The stars want the millions, and so do the record companies. Its just greed plain and simple
