Haha... that fucking activation bullshit.

Inside Microsoft Headquarters:

Bill: I am the richest man in the world with a company worth billions and billions of dollars. I mistreat my customers, shove buggy software down their throats and ruthlessly run competition out of business with borderline Nazi tactics. I am already under investigation by the DOJ. What can I do to piss people off even more?

Anonymous board member: I have an idea. Add some stupid activation bullshit to all our products. It will guarantee massive inconvenience for legitimate purchasers of our software while doing absolutely NOTHING to prevent piracy since all the illegal copies will be cracked, anyway.

Bill: Make it so!
