I'd like to know why Microsoft forces us to verify, activate and reactivate time after time, over and over and over with no end in sight ? I agree MS has the right to protect their software but since I bought the rights to use it, I shouldn't be forced to verify that it's theirs time after time with no end in sight. I don't think it's right that I should have to call some guy in India, who, if I can't understand, I'll have to call back and hope to get somebody who I can understand, then go through some ridiculous 42 digit procedure. It's time that Microsoft's guru's that know all and can do all, came up with a way of securing their software which doesn't force me to go through this. Time for somebody to start on developing a new way of doing this as there are ways and it's time they used one of them. If Microsoft can't find a way of looking after their security issues than forcing me to handle them, I won't be buying anymore MS Products. I'd like an honest reply to this question as I feel I deserve one, so please stop moving my post as avoiding the question is not being responsible.
