I'm determined not to pay the extortion money they want to keep Windows from popping warnings about unknown publishers.
It's not really even the money at this point (though the prices ARE ridiculous--and getting more so). It's the hoops I would have to jump through and the documents I would have to provide just to be
allowed to spend too much money on a certificate (assuming one doesn't want to get a fly-by-night cert). All just to eliminate a pop-up warning that can be easily dismissed. I'm not p(l)aying.
