Good point, but I don't think MS is that crazy yet.  If you are going to
deactivate someone's XP then you had better be damned sure it's an illegal
copy. Deactivate a legal copy and to me its worse than a hacker doing it.

Based on what I've read on the WGA talkback I'm surprised no one has sued MS yet.
