Funny, From your link, I followed a link to this "About Genuine Microsoft Software" <http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/WhyValidate.aspx?familyid=905b4d10-9cde-4d32-b576-c942d1375ceb&displaylang=en> Quote : "This page explains the importance of validating your Windows installation, and the benefits of using only genuine Microsoft software." I wonder... is this "using MSFT software" as opposed to "using illegal copies of MSFT software" or isn't it more like as opposed to "using software made by other companies" :-) On Mon, 2004-11-29 at 22:06, Patrick LEMMERS wrote: -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serge Marelli, Luxembourg E-mail : serge.marelli(a)linux.lu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LiLux - http://www.lilux.lu/ Defending Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/ Free Software Foundation - http//www.fsf.org/
