I'm pretty sure the EULA states somewhere MS can do this. You agree to it when clicking that little checkbox for accepting the license when installing the damn OS.
If the pirates are having no problems and it's the legit users who are getting fucked in the ass, why the hell does Microsoft continue to bother with WGA?
What do they gain? Was WGA suppose to convince people using illegitimate versions of Windows to turn to the light? Fuck that, they'll just download the latest cracked WGA.DLL and get on with it, while the legit users will get boned because their serial key wasn't recognized or whatever.
WGA does NOTHING to hinder piracy, at least not with any level of success that compensates for the negative affects to legit users. It's a complete joke - and yet Microsoft doesn't have the balls to admit this yet. It pisses me off to see such short-sightedness from a bunch of guys who are suppose to be experienced in business.
It's news because Ubuntu is currently the flagship of the mainstream Linux distros - it's generally the first option for people wanting to try Linux out, so improvements like this are rather important to its success.
Does anyone actually give a flying fuck as to what bullshit advertising is being spouted from these blogs? And who the fuck even reads blogs anymore, it's like masterbating into someone's language. You self-absorbed fuckers.
Slashdot is, by definition, a blog as well, which means you're reading one too, you self-absorbed fucker.:)
Does anyone have a link to a site with reviews/opinions about the demo? Even though I'm more interested in the PC version I'd still like to know how people felt regarding the content.

There's as much flaming for Mandriva as there is for Windows.
Not only do you HAVE to be a part of the Linux camp, but only for certain distros too it would seem. Slashdot really has gone backwards.

Just blame the disruption on Windows Updates or something.

This is so fucking stupid. Can't say much more really.
Yes, but does it run... AMIGA OS!?!?
I think WINE would take one look at the engine requirements and proceed to uninstall itself in horror. Absolutely no chance.
