Franki; You're right! It isn't fair! But you're also wrong. Microsoft has the legal right to withdraw their licenses whenever they want to. Someday, have a look at the EULA on your systems that have Microsoft Windows installed on them. Then, try to read the additional EULA's that you agree to everytime you use Windows Update. By agreeing to the licenses, you give them that right! They would definitely piss off a lot of people, and they'd have a lot of court time if they decided to force the issue, but they are entitled to do it.
