That comment would have been much easier to read with some punctuation.

In my personal opinion the Volume licence argument is a complete crock in other words I disagree with Eric's pitch that Action pack was a volume licence anyway and now Microsoft is just validating this by change the XP media to ugrade only. I agree piracy has to be tackled but come on Microsoft as some other people have already commented just validate the online transaction if a company is called AN Other Doctors Clinic the chances they are a valid partner are slim. Being honest I'm afraid this could mean a lot of legitimate IT Pro shops who use the Action Pack to run their 2 or 3 office machines which up until has been totally legitimate and I would be happy to debate this with anyone and used the other offerings in the pack to test new technologies will simply switch to MSDN which will probably result in less appropiate licence use. Lets cut to the chase if this happens with Vista, then Office in the action pack etc, etc it will make the Action pack useless for what it was intended for and if the criminals out there stand to save $15 Dollars by using the Action pack this won't stop them one bit it will if Micrsoft extend this ugrade to other software simply punish small IT firms
