Don't want to rub it in or anything, but this is one of the things we
who like/love Free Operating Systems(tm) knew to expect from commercial
OSes that does like for instance XP Home did, the "oh, you can just call
this phone number and we will reactivate it for you, and don't mind that
it went unlicensed just because you put a new CD-drive in it, just call
and we'll be very forth-coming". Which I'm sure they were, until that
phone number stopped being "profitable" and now you have to hunt through
malware-ridden sites to just boot the OS.
