We've already seen this. People who change up their hardware have had
issues with WGA and Windows XP. People are remarkably adaptable to adverse
changes. It's only when someone stands up and says "this is not right"
that people start realizing they don't have to go through these gyrations
to make things work.

Interesting? Yes. Polarizing? Probably not.
