if I could ask Microsoft a question, I already have (Not expecting an 
answer).  That is why do they as good as call me/others a thief, when 
after installing XP I still have to contact them to prove I have a valid 
copy. Sorry but I find this to be insulting and offensive, and am sure 
anywhere else would possibly be grounds to sue. I can circumvent this by 
removing and re-installing every 29 days anyway, will give me another 29 
days.
Another question would be,  why is it so hard to get a refund, am at 
present trying :-) .

I feel that Linux should be very careful at this meeting, I seriously 
doubt they wish to attend out of the goodness of their hearts.
