back before I sold crackberry.com i had similiar issues. I had RIM proxys trying to get me to turn it over to RIM, I guess so they could control the new slang term that had arisen. I said fock off. I think Chicago2016 is a similiar slang or street term for the 2016 Chicago Olympics (if they happen). If they take this from the guy then ICANN is officially the Internet's Communist And Nationalist Nazis.
well, I give them credit for PROVING that you don't NEED vista to run these games. It reminds me of the old windows media player hacks to get it to run on NT4 when MS said it would only run on 2000. If you can thwart planned obselesance I say DO IT!
"DPSS (Designer Perceptive Style Sheets) should be ready in the next 50 to 100 years though"
Sad thing is this dinosaur will still probably be around then.
You are ASSuming that the EULA is 100% legal and correct. Just because you agree to it doesn't mean it can't be challenged by someone else in a court of law.
By forcing Microsoft to sell this version in other countries, the EU is effectively dumping inferior products on other countries that don't want it. Since when does the EU say what I can and cannot buy (or want to buy) here in the US?
The EU is stepping WAY over their boundaries here. I'm sorry they need to feel validation in their decision to bring about an inferior product, but I don't want any part of it.
I certainly don't want to here the thousands of users calling up and costing companies useless time and manhours about "where is Media Player" because the EU has forced Microsoft to sell it in other countries.
The EU has become a joke. But what isn't funny is the lengths they will go to in order to prove their relevance (or lack thereof).
....that shoots pople (via firing squad) for drunk driving. It seems death is the solution for everything there.....hmmm not a bad Idea for this country!
who gives a flying fuck. I don't care if the CEO is a purple midget with wings. If they can't run the company worth a shit, no warm, fuzzy "lets hire a woman" philosophy is going to cut it.
Making money isnt about being politically correct.
Who gives a fuck what Microsoft employees use. If it isn't work related and doesn't interfere with work, they should be able to buy and use whatever they want.
OMG!! This just in! A Sun worker uses XP! STOP THE PRESSES!
....all this settlement does is pay off the lawyers for intergraph. This backwater has-been of a company should have went under a long time ago. They think they can lay around and live off of relic patents then go right ahead.
Intergraph is a joke. Anything good aobut that company was sold off a LONG time ago.
the beginning user doesn't use MP3s and they don't use divx. A typical home user uses Windows Movie Maker to make home videos.
Likewise a LOT of streaming content is asx/asf and if you dont have SOME sort of media player out of the box you can't view either.
You Lose!
Now everyone selling this bastardized copy will be calling tech support asking "why can't I play this movie file like on my friends (with WMP) computer?
I have this theory.
If Titan is made of methane and no oxygen....what is preventing someone from lobbing essentially what would be a Molotov Cocktail at the moon and blowing that fucker up? I mean this is pretty simple. Send probe with a canister of oxygen with it, descend into the atmosphere, and issue a detonate command.
Personally, I think that would be really fucking cool.

If they do a good job I'll be in line to get one. So sad they could never get one for the Xbox.
My mech has been waiting to get outfitted with one of these for a while!

the security desk reports that a set of brass balls is missing from the board room. Carly GIVE THOSE BACK!
the days of chics with brass balls is over. It's time for men to step back in and do a man's job.
HPs stock price begins steady climb upward. Carly was a biotch.....good riddance.
