It stops people who for whatever reason cant afford to buy Windows licenses from using Windows. A mixed blessing if they lose the majority of users because Vista is too expensive to buy, but no one can get pirate copies.

Funny, that company made soo much money mostly because most people had a pirate copy of their OS at home. Now, with a flip of a switch, they could loose it all.

Windows became the most popular OS and won over OS2 and unix because of it's familiarity. Now, if schools and poor people with cheap computers have to return to Unix, there could be a major switch in the market in a decade.
