Power management now seems to need a power manager driver . You are unlikely to be
able to obtain one for an older pc . Microsoft seems to want to have the ability
to remotely disable computers , presumably when it finds duplicate OS software .
This may be the second line of defence after someone comes up with the hardware hashing
function to enable xp without a valid licence key . This presumably explains why
any device capable of piracy - particularly cd re-writers , scanners etc are needing
new drivers - the new drivers will almost certainly have copyright protection embedded
instead of a warning about ye lore .Ian.
