Eh? Depends on platform, I believe, last I checked was 100Hz on intel, 
1000Hz on alpha.

I'd say that Microsoft has every right to expect a user to buy a license
for each computer that the software will be installed on. And I tend to get
especially annoyed by proponents of MS software who essentially bootleg a
great deal of it; it's like a person who will only drive Porsches, but
obtains them through theft.
