While I don't support EA or DRM (and refuse to buy Warhead for that reason) I have been soaking up everything I can on the situation and have one correction to your statement... EA has clarified that they will release a patch to remove activation in the event that they take down an authentication server. Obviously this can be taken as a "we'll see" mentality but I thought I would post that they've addressed activation.

My live cd says it only has a shortcut on it and will not auto run, I've changed the boot order to boot from cd, but whenever I reboot I just get vista startup, or it repairs itself to start from vista. Hard drive partitioned ok. Is this microsofts way of making sure the PC I paid them for will only do their bidding? I tried buying cds to do this from The Linux Store; they took my money but haven't sent the cds. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET LINUX?? Surely this isn't just a sick joke, lots of people reckon they use Linux but I can't beleive it."
