is it just me or does anyone else feel that Bill Gates wants his products hacked? (pg. 2)

Also, I think they don't care as much how you got Windows, just that you are actually using Windows, and not another OS.
A similar point with the licenses is with companies like Gateway and stuff that sell built PCs, that come with Windows and Internet Explorer already installed, that is one thing they got in trouble about. Why would the average Joe try and get another browser when he gets one free already installed in his computer? So yeah I think the point is they don't care how you got windows, just that you have windows. |

Right on, its all part of Bill Gate's secret plan to take over the world. Its amazing how many ppl use Windows compared to other OS's.

ya, the saddest part ever is that they don't even have a copy protection for their cds whatsoever... c'mon, you're making this too easy, at least you could've forced us to search for a copy protection crack... :rolleyes: |
and even with that it will be cracked. there is no such thing as un crackable software :D |

Since I use 'my' XP pro (was it april 2001?) my pc stopped crashing every 2 days.
But: I feel being watched...
I am absolutely sure Bill is scanning our databases!
BTW: that USA-Army game; I would never install that kinda stuff on my pc. They already know everything, but then they will know even more than everything :(

Hmmmm, XP has the most security flaws / breaches out of any other OS. It's a peice of junk and I deleted it after 1 month of using it.
For two reason:
1 - It only worked well with half the software I had, the rest ended up crashing all the time.
2 - I read lots of media reports regarding the OS and all I saw were "security breaches, security breaches, security breaches, " :whip:
Cheers,

I have official info from a MS rep that they don't give a damn about home-use (of MJ and windows...), they only care about companies because they're easier to scare. He also said that for all they care a guy that buys a single copy of windows/office for work can take it home and install it there too (they even agree to activate it on phone twice with the same license).
One thing's for sure, ing MS won't get a dime out of me - ever. |

DAMN!!! How'd you get it in April 2001?! Are releases THAT far ahead of stores? Was it glitchy back then? Was it the same as a store bought version on launch day? When was Windows 2000 "released"? Was it even released IN 2000? |

Is this the same for the Adobe software and every other software that's used in companies and at home? If so, no wonder why software doesn't have copy protection built into the CDs (games do)! |

1. i believe service pack 1 for xp contains that lets them track if its pirated
2. bill gates kicks ass because he gives me my paycheck. i dont care about spending money on the products anyways because i can get them for like 20 bucks at the company store. |
