Don't be too critical with people who previously posted that information.
Their comments were based on how Microsoft had handled previous operating
system beta and CPP programs.

The information that Nick posted on the blog is a result of 'very' recent
decisions by Microsoft due to the feedback they have been receiving in
recent months from beta testers and CPP participants.

The really good thing, just like with the early licensing issues, is that it
shows that they are listening. :)
