Today when I went to activate MS Reader after a planned hard reset I noticed that another tweak has been made to activation (see extract below).

I was able to reactivate without hassle and read previously downloaded titles, so hopefully it won't be a big deal.


September 30, 2003: Today we are announcing the rollout of a Microsoft Reader security update. This system-wide update is the next step in our continual effort to create the best possible technology to support eBook customers, copyright holders and our business partners. The “trigger” for the update is the purchase and/or downloading of a digitally protected Owner Exclusive Microsoft Reader eBook title. When you purchase a new title, or re-download a previously purchased title after September 26th, you will be prompted to update your system. The update consists of a simple step: the re-activation of your reading system(s).
