Ms will limit the number of times one can "update" an individual license to
3 in the first 60 - 90 days and 11 overall.  After the limit is met, one
will be required to buy a new license of xp or an xp product.  Also, in
today's ny times, corperate customers are also feeling the ms greed.  In
their new license for xp products, ms will automatically install updates
and charge them for it, regardless if they want it or not.  All of these
moves leaves ms more in controll of how people use computers, putting more
and more control in the hands of ms.  It also points to the time coming
soon when ms will only rent software products and will then maintain
complete control over computing practices.  Now who will stand up and
support the ms control monopoly?  All this is possible because the ms
preditory marketing practivces have destroyed almost all of it's
competition and inflated it's arrogance toward customers and government.
Relax, ms wants to make you happy, they know best and you will like it too.
