   Sounds like a combination of crippleware and registerware to me.   
      
   Perhaps I'm wrong though.   
      
   Regardless, in recent years I've gotten to where I've taken a standpoint   
   of, as much as possible, refusing to register for anything.

   John C. No ad, CD, cripple, demo, nag, pay, pirated, share, spy,   
   time-limited, trial or web wares for me please.   
      
   I filter out crossposted messages, anything from various trolls and   
   block dizem.com. If you do the same, this newsgroup will be easier for   
   you to read.   
      
   Take back Microsoft from India.
