Windows, you dumb shit!

I bought a new video card yesterday, not really knowing what kind of card it was except that it was cheap (I intended it to use in my server). I saw some specs on the box that it was better than the existing EAX1650 i have in my game PC. So i decided to put the new card in there and use the “old” 1650 for my server.
Windows disagreed and went all nuts over it. I had to reactivate because my hardware configuration differed too much from the “saved profile”. Ofcourse since activation may only be done 5 times or so i had to call Microsoft and convince them, as a paying customer, that i wasn’t stealing their software and was just swapping out the videocard. Damn untrusting morons! I paid almost 150 euros for this hunk of junk OS. Isn’t that enough?
However, i understand that this is just a prevention from using their software on multiple computers. But it’s flawed at best. And very annoying on top of that. Not because i have to re-activate, but WHY i have to re-activate. There should be no activation at all.
Now let me play with my new Radeon HD3450! YARR!
