Genuine ADVANTAGE VALIDATION

MICROSOFT has developed a tool to allow them to go into your computer and
determine whether you are using a "legal" copy (NOT a copy, because that
would be illegal) of XP. I am wondering WHY they did this (money - duh) and
how it will affect bootlegged copy users, unknowing or otherwise. They say
you can buy five copies of a validation. How much will this cost? Will
users have to reformat, thereby having to save data and re-install all
software??
