Paul Thurrott's WGA Woes Solved
David Horn writes "Last week Slashdot ran an article regarding the trouble Paul Thurrott had with WGA. It turns out that after talking to Microsoft, he was actually running a pirated version of Windows, legitimately purchased from an online vendor. Paul admits that 'the truth is, I just made a mistake. If we learn something from that mistake, fantastic, but I wasn't trying to set up a life lesson for anyone, let alone myself.'"
"Unlimited" refers to services (emails, DBs, etc), check the services page. Does it really bother you that much? If yes, complain to whoever runs slashdot to let me use a longer sig to also include the terms of service.

So the solution is not to buy any Microsoft products. Then at least you'll be protected from Microsoft ever claiming anything against you. I wouldn't buy anything from any company if there was any danger of buying illegal stuff. So Compusa is out, Fry's is out, Newegg is out as far as Microsoft products go.
Just say no to Microsoft.
i mean calling someone a homosexual is bad enough
but then to insinuate they work at best buy..that is simply to much.
I was worried those new apple ads were making PC users look bad, but luckily you have come to the rescue proving once again we windows folks are sophisticated and classy.
bless you sir
actually I am happy to see you, however that is in fact a banana in my pocket.
I'm pretty sure anyone who has the brains to use Linux knows enough not to work at Best Buy. That's just a given.
On the contrary, I think you're working for Best Buy and trying to FUD Linux so you can get more sales and pretend to fix computers.
