You know, how come we can't just buy a copy with a computer and the copy actually be "ours". I mean seriously, I bought a copy of XP with my dell a few years back only to find out that it was good for that computer and that computer only. Seriously, when i got rid of the computer I could have still used the OS on my new computer, but instead I had to buy a whole new copy of the very same program. ANNOYING and EXPENSIVE!!!
