Is this thing worth to have now, when windows7 is 2 releases away, everyone is moving to windows8 or 10 rapidly, and these OSes don't benefit from this patch due to different activation scheme and different licensing terms? Is it useful for anything but win7 (or 2008) ? It was definitely useful when I dealt with this issue back when win7 come out, at that time it received no interest. Now, I think, it is of very limited/questionable use... Thanks, /mjt
