Once a supermarket brand repackager, forever a supermarket 
brand repackager. There is exactly one aspect of that firm I would never 
want to criticise: their revenue model. A model that their users cannot 
share ;-)

My hottest wish was that they come up with a hardware lock system to 
stomp out piracy. It could be cheaper than printing strange 
holographic labels and much more effective.

Hey, m$, why don't you enforce antipiracy for the user desktop level ? 
You are missing at least 1 billion dollars per year net income.
