Your going to have to wait 6 months before your out your old contract before you can get this.
since apple\AT&T or O2 forced you to have a 18 month contract and it only came out 12 months ago.
Lessons learned ?
I'm surprised that its also impossible to leave facebook and have your details deleted, without contacting them directly and then there's about 100 step process in order to get shot of it.
the company should change its rules "to address violent extremist material."
Of course Sen. Joseph Lieberman means "anti-american" since he probally wouldn't want all the pro christian stuff take off since they cant be evil right ?
Why not use the software you install it on in the first place. with my MSDN subscription I can get office versions back to Office 95.
That's 12 years old and 6 OS's ago. If your app is that older than that you have had time to upgrade, and when you do upgrade you normally target the current platform meaning your safe for another 12+ years.
I've played the part where you get drunk and can drive home
1. you have the option to walk (which again you walk drunk).
2. as soon as you get in the car the police come after you.
3. you regularly hit and kill people because you drive like shit.
sounds like a good lesson.
It might be news there are jobs outside of USA which use windows.
all over the world in fact. Much like there are markets al over the world.
the Jobs exist and the markets exist and they tend to favour a Windows OS.
I'd like to train them for jobs which do exist at the moment and we know will exist for the next 10-20 year.
not jobs which may exist in 20 years time for markets which dont.
If the give a licence for free they cant turn around and charge for it later.
they can only do that when they want to renew renegotiate the licence terms, at which time they have the option to choose another provider.
I seriously doubt that MS would "go back on their word" since it would look terrible from a PR perspective, and would drive future business to the competition. In short it will never be beneficial for them to charge for it.
Dont you have to agree to an EULA ?

Does it come up with a "I Agree" "I Disagree" buttons like all other programs now ?
if so it would effect its spread rate since people would be able to disagree and therefore it should not install,
or
if you don't get the option to disagree or read it then it would cause problems when enforcing it legally.
Which is why I can run some programs with admin rights and others not.
For example I run Visual Studio with admin rights and it stops lots of issues like when I'm setting up a new log from my code.
Conversely it prompts me when something tries to install which thankfully has always been something I've asked for, but would also prompt me when something installs which I don't want.
True but Mac don't seem to have been as willing to bend over backwards as MS and the Linux community has.
Possibly since it doesn't want to been seen with the "3rd world" crowd.
MS want to hook the new market as does Linux,
Linux has the edge by being able to run on a lower spec and be less demanding.
MS has the better software support and market share, with MS offering their OS for free and customised for the XO then it's really a no brainer on the surface. But really its all down to the results they push, I cant really see MS slimming down Windows that much (maybe back to W2K specs but still).
If MS can get the OS to fit the hardware then I think that that may be enough to Tip the scales. Of course this will really piss off and on the Open source crowd.
a free lightweight version of Windows XP which has been designed to run on the XO will cost more. How?
No more hardware needed no licence costs.
Granted it is MS trying to get the next generation hooked on its OS but its already the most popular OS on the planet and I think its better to give kids skills they are likely to use in the work place than skills they are less likely.
your definition of free seems to be more than slightly warped.
While I agree the goal is to have a $100 laptop. I don't see why the price would increase with an MS operating system.
They have already stated that they will make a "XP lite" version which will work with the laptop, so no new hardware needed and they wont charge a licence for it so no extra cost of OS.
Personally I don't see why people think that an MS operating system is bad for children its the most popular OS on the planet and most employers want employee's to be able to use it. As long as it doesn't affect the cost why not have as many operating systems on it as is beneficial to the child?
disabling UAC is one more hurdle/annoyance of Vista.
Which is exactly why you miss the point of it.
Do people complain that they have to enter their admin password when they install something on a mac ?
how is this any different, except that you can turn it off ?

£90 vs £30 £120 vs £40 sounds like 300% or 200% more to me.
I thought it was a diaspointing movie about robots with that kid who can see dead people.
All in good time. I recon about 5 years we will all have an IPv7 Number.

I thought they already announced that it was going to be called "snow leopard" ?

I have a vague recollection of getting hammered at the Asshat bar one night. Woke up with a sore arse.
Sounds like it since you can buy a song from mp3Spark.com for around $0.20.

They are already there.

So we wont be able to tell when there is congestion on the big orange unnamed roads in china then ?

Just don't take a picture.
Discussions there led to the creation of COFEE. I normally make coffee before I start discussions. one lump or two ?
Still a 10$ Video card is all they seem to put in the 20" iMac
"Just works" is not something which is associated with a Mac in today's world. With all the iphone its more "just works the way we want it too"
