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.
