Phone activation is the virtual equivalent of Microsoft jerking you out
of your car, slam dunking your face onto the hood and frisking you and
you think that's just fine and dandy? You really need to get your
priorities straight and stop brown nosing MS.

What's even more pathetic is that this virtual frisking does NOTHING to
stop piracy. In fact, it makes pirated versions more attractive to the
end user because they don't have to jump through these hoops to use the
software.
