Microsoft is a /software/ company.  What does it matter to Microsoft
what your hardware is or when/how much you change it?  

As for something negative, how about shutting down your OS until you
can re-register it, thereby shutting you away from all your data?
Would that count?  How much is /your/ time worth?  

Do a few upgrades on a WinXP box that has no internet connection.  How
long does it take to get a re-registration number through snail mail?
How much /is/ your time worth?

BTW, does Microsoft pay you to troll or is it just a hobby?

A: Apart from the fact that viruses are supported by their authors, 
use optimized, small code and usually perform well, none.
