... it is no different than allowing pirates to steal Windows and
later putting the squeeze on us (think Windows Product Activation
WPA).

The "squeeze" is put on pirates, who had never acquired Windows
legally to begin with.

You are naïve if you really think so.

The squeeze is on typical American families who are not technically
inclined and who would like to install Windows XP on their kids
computer as well. Anybody who is technically inclined (pirates
included) and most everybody outside of the United States can get
Windows XP for free and install it on all their computers. The
squeeze is put on ordinary home users here in the United States.
