Windows XP -- digital camera/photo features

If people think they will need to buy a new full priced copy of
Windows for each machine they have laying around they will
seriously think twice about buying a new machine or keeping old
machines in service. The cost of ownership is too high.

But, if it were only to cost, say $10 dollars, to use Windows on a
second machine, you'd have a lot more chance of bringing people to
the table. Now when a customer goes to the store to buy that new
copy of Windows he might consider paying $20 dollars more for the
right to install it on the other two machines he has in his house.

I also feel very strongly, with my own innate sense of fairness,
that the solution Microsoft has chosen for Windows XP is not fair
to customers with multiple machines...cutomers that have been loyal
to Microsoft for years and have provided Billions and Billions of
dollars of revenue to Microsoft.

If Microsoft thinks they can drive against popular opinion by the
shear force of their size and inertia, they need to take a history
lesson and look back at Sony's Betamax, IBM's personal PC, or
closer still, CP/M....or a hundred other cases in history.
Software companies, if anything, have even more fragile positions.

Good luck,
