Not suggesting that at all, my point is the super restrictive licensing hurts the purchaser not the the pirates.

Add to it, I maintain a stand alone workstation. It is never connected to the internet. I have too much invested in it to gamble on dodging all the a'holes that write malicious code every single time I connect.

But try working through customer support with that one. LOL

The deciding point for me was a while back when I clicked on a Youtube video for an old band I hadn't heard in a few years and there was a virus embedded in the video. It required a format and reinstall to completely kill. Minor annoyance on the web machine but would have been a major catastrophe had it been the workstation.
