those who havent' updated won't be affected... equally neither will corp copies or distros... to much trouble coupled with the issues with proctor and gamble and the us military ... however i expect that this will happen just after the release of vista and then of course it'll be sorry we don't stock that software you'll have to upgrade to vista/longhorn etc oh you lost data didn't you read the we are not responsile for anything we make clause in the Eula which we can change at any time with out notice... yadda yadda...jæd said:

tbh i can't see microsoft releasing an un crackable product.... period...boskysquelch said:This where I've got logically confused...why would it be?
All they would be doing is disabling a non-revenue source of Windows users...and those that hadn't got everything organised would phoooooooone_hoooooooome and Microsoft would get an update on valid users to add to their growing knowledge base(sic) of who should have Windows..and who shouldn't.
Sounds like good business practice to meh.

The problem isn't the smugness of linux users, it's the fucking tedious way they pop up with regularity in threads relating to windows issues, shouting "you wouldn't have this problem if you used linux". It's worse than cuntish born-again xtians for fuck's sake.Boris Sprinkler said:my mum has been using pc's to email and surf the web for about 4 years at most. she is not an advanced user by any stretch of the imagination.
She uses Ubuntu on her personal laptopn. Is very impressed with it and complains about how shit the pc's they give her at work are.
Using linux is not Willy Waving, it's fiscal common sense. But if you enjoy having to pay £30 a year for AV, £100 extra on your PC to use an OS that criminalises you to use it, £300 for an office package, and so on... thats down to you.
Just don't knock the rest of us that are smug.

fuck off my thread stop ruining it with your tiedious bollocks... it's for information for one os user group who happen to be a majority on here ....jæd said:Oh...? Same question to Mr Le Chat... Oh, and since when has being a bit evangalistic been against the Posting Rules...?
I agree with much of what you say. I can see the benefits of linux, but it just doesn't provide the functionality I need in its present incarnation. And even if it did, the time I'd need to spend sourcing all the different apps to replace my existing apps and then getting them configured and customised.... sorry, just ain't worth it. And I've nothing against people singing the praises of linux.... it just bugs be a bit when it happens in threads where people basically need advice about their windows installations rather than hard-selling of another OS.KeyboardJockey said:I'll save you the bother of getting links. I know I do this on occasion mostly because I'm bowled over by Linux when compared to Windows and feel that for me (even though I'm an appliance operator) it is a better and less clunky and more transparent system. To me it has all the atributes off an SIII Land Rover it does what it says on the tin.
I apreciate that there are things that Win will do that Linux will not and that some people have software that will run on nothing but Win. However, my personal experience with windows has not been a very happy one and I'm glad I changed over.
If I come over a bit evangalistic about linux then thats because I am having struggled for years with various windows fuckups and security problems and spyware the green fields and user friendliness (once you get it going that is
