Anyway, your pirating days are numbered because all Microsoft products are going to use product activation.

need i remind you that he activation was cracked before XP was even released? duh, they WILL NEVER STOP IT untill they stop being such tight asses and work with outside (people/companies) to improve they're (security/products). WICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN! well not untill a few months have passes and they get really desperate.

You would be wise to get busy learning how to program in Windows and .NET tomorrow morning, because you will be even further isolated in the future unless you act now.

.NET is about as useful as a pile of wet ****... NOBODY USES .NET, MS actually rigged a poll to make it look like people were gonna use it.

MS IS DIEING LOOK AROUND YOU THEY'RE DESPERATE FOR MONEY!!
they might very well survive but there is an assload of new competition comming and they are gonna get hit hard unless they can legitimize themselves real quick.

MS is the largest corporation on the face of the earth. What planet are you from?

What're you talking about? This has never been done before! I'm sure there's going to be a nice, friendly discussion about the relative merits of each operating system. I bet there's no name-calling, Dean never mentions the Taliban or Communists, and everyone quotes reliable, un-biased sources.

Jeez, adrian - you're so cynical

LMAO!

I agree that windows is easy to use..... compared to many systems. Certainly my preferred choice of GIU. However, win2k server is remarkably bad for admins. Linux is far easier.... (never thought i'd say that!!!!!)

Buy the way, is it just me or did that post buy troll sounds like a corporate plug??

No, it's not anymore. What Planet are you from.
i think that title belongs to many before them.

haha its possible.

Look at the NASDAQ. You will see for yourself.

**ygfperson** · 02-06-2002

it's always good to have alternatives, especially if those alternatives are free.

I used WindowsXP for a while. It sucks though because I couldn't play half the games on XP because it started to act up. Also, the WindowsXP Nvidia driver is kind of slow, although that's not really Microsoft's fault.

I think Microsoft products are okay, mostly Windows 2000 and MSVC++ 6.0. Although, I don't approve of the actual company, and Bill's dorky glasses.

I can't believe how great XP Home is, and I can be rest asured that no pirates will be screwing around with a copy of my Operating System. Those denegrates will have to turn to Linux.

Haha moron. I know a lot of people who have pirated versions of Windows XP, it was cracked the day it came out. Some people hacked it so you don't have to activate it. It's nearly impossible to stop people from pirating software.

Also, I would like to say that I am NOT happy with Windows XP home. I'd much rather use 2K.

**gnu-ehacks** · 02-06-2002

Oh, also, it is possible for one person to buy the corporate edition, which is basically WindowsXP Professional without the online registration...It's just $300 dollars more, and well worth it if a group of friends were to split the cost.

For all you degenerates who complain about windows products, maybe that's because cracked software is garbage. Just get a job and learn how to program.

**golfinguy4** · 02-06-2002

Just to add a little fuel to the fire, any of you ever hear of Lindows? It is a Linux variant that is attempting to be compatible with all windows applications. However, Microsoft is suing them because of their name.

**CoderBob** · 02-06-2002

Why would cracked Microsoft products be any more garbage than the retail versions?

**ygfperson** · 02-06-2002

getting more specific: why would i install BeOS if i have redhat 7.2?(looking for a sales pitch)

> MS is the largest corporation on the face of the earth.

Nope - that belongs to WalMart...

> Look at the NASDAQ. You will see for yourself.

Wow - I wasn't aware that stock price was any indication of the size of a company. Thanks for the enlightenment, Dean.

> For all you degenerates who complain about windows products, maybe that's because cracked software is garbage

This coming from a guy who's boasted on many occasions that he got his copy of Win 2K for the price of the CD....

> NOBODY USES .NET

That could very well be because it's not out yet...
