And what are you going to do when the "you must register this software
or it won't work more than [60?] days" program M$ is now trying out
becomes fully implemented??

There's a growing gulf between the increasingly control-freak proprietary
software world and the fully open Open Source software world. I know
where my support, dollars, and sympathies belong. And it's not with the
likes of M$. I'm not opposed to proprietary software, but I am opposed
to oppressive, compulsive, paranoid sickies.
