what do you mean. Its not micros fault.
I was no blaming MS. My remark is that the same kind of software tricks that the malware people use for bad stuff can be used by MS to see if any PC is legal. And they can do it without breaking the lws. If you want an update, you have to let MS look at your system.
So if you somehow turn off the activation, sooner or later MS will knot that you have a copy that was not registered. This is not unduly harsh of MS. Software Administrators have tools available to take care of the problems that may arise with the activation process.
