   "For all" is a problem.  You won't find that everyone wants the same =
thing.

  Yes he was, but he was trying to suggest a solution for all. (and =
that's what we need!)

       George was going on about Slapper at Microsoft.  You can rant on =
other topics if you want but it makes no difference.

       I also gree that George's conclusions are unsupported by his =
premise and argument but since the premise was false, the rest falls = apart anyway.

      I don't think i'd agree with it being a false premise, at least =
for a
      majority of us users out here -- products are on CD and the copy =
protection
      is that activation crap and the product key.

      Anyway, i don't see what he is saying would work either, most =
people don't
      have the bandwidth to be downloading a CD everytime they want to =
do an
      install...

         From below, that installs are from CD and that the products are =
copy
      protected.  His full rant probably contains more.

      What false premise?

         The first problem with George's rant is that it is based on a =
false
      premise.
