Make sure you send them a letter telling them why you won't be a 
customer any longer. The more of us who complain, the sooner they'll 
realize this is just going to hit them in the bottom line and give up 
on the authorization schemes.

What ticks me off the most about this is that it only really 
inconveniences their legitimate customers - the people who are stealing 
their software just download cracks to eliminate the authorization 
checks.

Bill Gates says Open Source is riding on the coat-tails of Windows' 
success. That's like saying Osama has done his part to increase airport 
security.
