Without question. I've been telling them to get a real ISP for years.
Anybody know what the W2K license says about transferring it from a dead
or superannuated machine? The 9x license always let you do so. Now M$ is
saying if you get a new Mobo, you need to buy a new copy of XP. The
opsys is, quoth M$, "the heart and soul of a PC" and it doesn't hold
with reincarnation. (Neither do I with humans or even beasts, but a PC
is NOT alive, and this is carrying analogy too far.)
