jakkyl Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 What version of Windows are you buying for 600 bucks????? Windows XP Super-duper Extremely Awesome Edition?? XP Pro is only 300 bucks. And if you buy the upgrade its only 200. And yes it will be more stable as Microsoft is toughening up and not allowing service packs to be installed on hacked copies of Windows. So, if i spend $600 to get a copy of xp, i will have greater reliabilty, and a richer experience with it, than if i go with a warez copy?Even though it's the same code? :D 585638534[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeR Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think this is a good idea by Microsoft, cuz as everyone knows they need the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBonJoey Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I hate it when i'm trying to download something from MS's website, they always want me to validate my damn windows when i've done the crap so many damn times.

SaguratuS Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 All us linux users should just turn this into a "look at our linux screenies!" thread, with the execuse that it's not working for *some* ever so unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Linux can do just about everything windows can do, and more (setup is just a bit more complicated, that's all). Besides all of that, it's FREE, and nearly all of the stuff for it is FREE.

lnmnky Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well my legit copy is legit. Thank god. I wonder if it will validate my Win95, Win98 upgrade, and WinMe upgrade disks also? Lol, at the linux, and at lyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise why does all the legit people have to pay for freeloaders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've got an issue, I can't install some ActiveX components. Microsoft update 6 won't install. This genuine program won't install, but the exe tool that is used for validation validated fine. So I've got a legit copy, just my ActiveX is messed up... Any ideas how to fix it?
