It seems that the personalization of original master disks is not new 
to Microsoft.  Here is an excerpt from the Addendum to MS works Ver 1.1

  "Before you make copies or begin working with Works, you must personalize
  your master Works Program disk."

Personally I think _all_ software should be shipped without the little
black write protect pieces.  This would guarantee that people can't
accidentally screw up, or worse yet, infect their masters with a virus.
Just my .02
