   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.
