can we require the ISPs protect everyone from making stupid purchases online? Or hey how about requiring the ISPs to increase the average intelligence online? After all, all we have to do is demand it, right? They have to figure out how to comply. /sarcasm

Right. But with XP at least, you could buy a retail edition that you actually could move from one computer to another. I haven't looked into the licensing for Win 7, nor for that matter, where you'd buy Win XP anymore.

Myself as well. I can't justify my hard-earned money going to support the ever increasingly draconian DRM schemes of the newer games. And, I'd discovered (and rediscovered) some old friends. RIP Good Old Games. I hope they come back in some form that doesn't screw that up too much.
