What ever happened to the old saying, customers are always right when serving them from a business point of view. I had my own business for 35 yrs and that is the motto I tryed to abide by when serving the customers who bought my products. It worked for me. I know a lot of you will not agree but it is the customer who pays the bills to keep software vendors in business. I removed XP from two new computers and installed 98 SE because of all the hazzle with activation and all the junk that isn't needed in XP to run an operating system. I cancelled my back order for poser 5 because of the same reason's I am reading in this thread. I am only one of a million but if we all stick together and let the vendors know we are not going to buy the product then who looses the most. I will be glad to pay extra to have a copy of poser 5 that is hazzle free and is like the older versions which can be used without actavation when you replace hardware or reinstall a new system on new hard drive.
