You seem preoccupied with "theft". Are you a hacker? Or just a Microsoft shill?

I think the justice he is referring to is Microsoft will realize how stupid it is to have these activation schemes that do nothing but anger legitimate users.

Theft is not the justice. The justice is the breaking of the mile-thick bubble of arrogance and predatory marketing that surrounds MS. One has to only read the EULA agreement that comes with Vista, and have knowledge of what MS does to its OEM customers to understand. It is not a pretty picture and the reason I, and many others, will never buy another (even Vista) operating system from MS.

First, there is no "theft" in copyright cases unless you somehow manage to steal the copyright. There is only infringement. Quit listening to the RIAA and MPAA.

Second, with technology it depends on how you use it. A guy who bought Vista and likes to try (or has a job doing) different hardware configurations will love this tool to be able to use what he legally purchased without constantly having to jump through hoops to keep Vista activated -- and that's if they'll let him reactivate again.

When the user gets used. He is not saying that it is ok to steal. What he is saying that if someone gets robbed, I can't think of a nicer bunch of folks for it to happen to than MS.
