I would question the corp people who make the decision then because I fail
to see how a backup strategy can work with microsoft's current mindset? I
mean think about it, if you want to stop piracy then one of the things that
you can't allow is restoring a system to a different box then where it was
backed up. I don't know about you but that's a priority requirement of my
backup strategy. Hardware fails, you have to be able to restore to a spare
box but you can't do that with the OS being tied to the box.
