How come?

I was critical of WPA and WGA. I also insisted that with a generic OEM
XP one can upgrade or replace a defective motherboard.

I'm sorry but that makes no sense to me whatsoever. Are you trying to say
that because you criticised WPA/WGA you are no longer allowed to post as
Alias? I cannot believe that that is the case. Microsoft do not control
the nics used by those posting to the newsgroups other than that those
using the web interface have to log on using Passport but even there the
nic does not have to be unique.
