[AccessD] WGA... was OT: It may be time to stop hatingMicrosoft.

Only curious - is there any information on what kind of stuff is encoded in
the keys that we use when we install Office or Windows?  I use a similar
scheme to protect my product - there's an expiration date encoded in there
as well as a few other bits of information.
