Well, I already ordered, and when the virtual dongle records hardware, it makes hardware upgrade very costly in lost time, hired tech support, and yada yada for the user who wants to put in a faster chip or ghost to a larger HD. While I do support anti piracy stuff, I do not support schemes that create this kind of crime on the american economy. If I have to spend one NY second with tech support after an upgrade, I guarantee I'll make it painful for them to deal with me.
