Hardly. This is software that phones home and can be remotely disabled if it appears its terms have been violated. I would expect that at best the software will self destruct and MS will tell you that you have no recourse. At worst MS may start following in the footsteps of the RIAA to go after individual customers. Unlike the RIAA, if you are misusing MS's software you are operating a beacon that can be traced right back to you. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
