Windows X fucking P

[jæd]

but i didn't ignore any of that. NOT choosing to buy ubuntu isn't ignoring the advice is it.

So have you tried to install a dodgy copy of Xp...?

 

[wishface]

let's just forget it, shall we. this is going round and round and round and...

Up to you...! Just if you took my advice about learning and thinking for yourself you could've been using Xp by now...!

<unsubscribes + puts wishface on ignore>

 

[boskysquelch]

What is that about and why should I trust them to download my OS updates?

Best to use dial-up to do the updates...then they don't bother taking too much info from you.

I think wishface is trolling.

At the very least we're getting the "help rejecting complainer" runaround.

 

[Radar]

I'm not sure tbh. I remember him pulling a similar stunt a while back, and I was convinced back then it was a piss poor troll. Now I think he just gets annoyed and snippy when things don't go according to plan. Anyone who's done desktop support will have come across this attitude in users before.

But the bottom line is that trolling in a techie help forum is about as challenging as getting done for blasphemy in Khartoum.

It's a piss poor way to get your kicks.

PBC&K.

Suggest LART.

(see Bosky's advice above).

why do they need the info?

I seem to be managing just fine thus far.

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

why do they need the info?

So they know who to prosecute for stealing their software. Duh.

Not MS, windiz!

 

[subversplat]

Not MS, windiz!

Is this stuff lies, then?

Personally I've always run a pirate XP and just used windows update and sod the consequences.

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

Not MS, windiz!

Oops.

Sorry - I thought you were installing Ubuntu.

 

[wishface]

What's that supposed to mean?

FFS.

If people here cannot answer question siwthout assuming the worst in people then don't read or respond my messages. Simple.

Christ almighty I really wonder why I keep trying to help you sometimes.

I meant, did you read the stuff, do you still worry about it taking private info, have you run the programmes that it says to run to prove itself innocent?

FWIW, I think that this Windiz programme is fine - I'd trust that privacy policy especially as it goes to lengths to prove that it's correct. If they're going to all the bother to give access to windows update to the wider non-microsoft-browser world then I highly doubt that they're in the business of shopping people with dodgy licence keys.

In short: I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

Do you work for Microsoft?!?!?

 

[boskysquelch]

you wouldn't have had these problems if you'd bought Ubuntu.

 

[subversplat]

Do you work for Microsoft?!?!?

Me? Yeah I'm "head computer illiterate pirate XP user catcher [via forums and usenet]", but don't tell anyone

 

[wishface]

you wouldn't have had these problems if you'd bought Ubuntu.

did you write the fucking thing or something?

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

subversplat - Your secret's safe with me.

Hey, wishface - I can sell you a *cheap* copy of Ubuntu if you like.

Hey, wishface - I can sell you a *cheap* copy of Ubuntu if you like.

but i don't need one now.

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

Can I interest you in an *expensive* one, then?

 

[wishface]

He's only trying to help.

We all are.

i appreciate that, but i can do without the silly comments speaking to me in the third person and making stupid accusations that I'm trolling because i haven't decided to go and buy Ubuntu.

 

[wishface]

Can I interest you in an *expensive* one, then?

yes, i like to spend as much as I can, when i can

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

Is that why you *stole* a copy of WindowsXP, then?
