Microsoft doesn't really care about nothing except their own pockets. They are only using this scheme so hackers will have a harder time hacking windows longhorn when it comes out. I agree with one of the previous post that it would put you at a higher jeopardy of getting identity thefted since the would be hacker would just need to target one piece of info now. Why doesn't the federal government just break Microsoft up as they threatened them before. Windows and Office should be two separate entities. I think that way each product would bet better with individual attention. Microsoft is going crazy with all this extracurricular software and services. When it sees a company make money off of an idea. They hafta stick their noses into that part of the field and try to make money too even though they have no clue on what they are doing. All they do is buy a company and milk it for all its worth without really making advances for that software.
