Mike,
I Can see where you are coming from. You want Backup systems.
Let me ask you when you bought your laptop, and explained your situation to the computer mfg. did they give you a free Backup computer, and when you decided you needed a lunchbox did they then give you a free lunchbox computer.
The point here is you want to run 3 computers, for backup or whatever. Software does have a tangeable cost. just like the computers. you cant see it, because you see it as something on a disk that should be distributed to every computer you own, or choose to put it on once you own it.
Did you put the same copy of windows, with the same serial number on all 3 computers? If you did you are Illegal.
Just because software comes on a disk, and can be loaded rather than as a physical comodity does not mean it should be handed out like candy. You of all people should know how much time and effort went into Just upgrading this version.
Over 8 months of programming time, and beta testing time. Just like the computers as being a physical commodity, software has a cost involved with the production. I'm sorry if you cant see that. I for one can. You Know me, form the Beta testers. I am not speaking as or for MTU, but this is my take.
