Why don't your products allow uninstalls to be registered like activations?
It should be a customer right to be treated fairly. That way if you unintall
from one computer and reinstall on another the customer could actually be
treated like a desirable commodity instead of a criminal. I realize this is a
scary thought, but try to face it.

So that would mean that someone whose hard disk had failed wouldn't be able
to use their copy of windows when the hard disk is replaced because they
hadn't uninstalled the first copy?
