You are right, also they are loosing alot of cusomers do to this activasion crap as well, you buy a copy of xp, and have computer problems, well guess what you also get the third degree from support to reinstall, and questioned like you are a thief, come now, how would all you feel after buying a software package and had to go threw all this shit, seems to me it would make people run pirate software, its much easier than going threw all that crap on the phone..my opion is they are condeming themselfs by doing this, I for one love xp, but i will be damed if I will go threw all that crap for any software package....
I have to agree with you, I live in vegas, and the working class built this place, now the corps are talking over and raising the rates everywhere, it boils down to the big comopanys are making way to much money, and they are how do you say theifs, just like they call pirating theifs, but they forget its the pirates and the average joe who built them!!!! but now that they make so much money, you think they care about you me or anyone that got them where they are, not a chance they look down on the people that made them, I can go on and on with this subject, but i don't like politics, Just my 2 cents
If it isn't broken don't fix it!!!
Not disagreeing with your post, just want to Justify my feeling, where do you think the guy with the 50 million in the bank got the code for his start?:) trust me, he is no angel!!
This is true, but if installed correctly, you will never see them, and system will shut down normally, I have to agree with the last comment, xp is far superior than previous versions, but has to be setup correctly, clearing cmos, and doing a clean install, although service pack 2 resolved alot of hardware issues, you now can change hardware drives, and such without the fear of system (blue screen)lockups, the price is to high and I don't like the activation crap, I find it to be annoying for somthing you purchase to get away from those annoying issues...
If it isn't broke don't fix it.....
It will never be enough, My opinion, only my opinion, there will always be security leaks, if there were not, there would be no fixes, therfore, I beleave that they are all in bed together, think about this, no problems, no new software or operating fixes, my point, lets face it all os and software companys are in bus to make money, and I don't think anyone of them are ready to retire, therfore there is no end to the circle, if there were, we would all be out of Bus. Example local police departments get a new radar dector, little later down the road, companies make a radar dector that is compatable to the local police departments detector, thats the system, it isn't a perfect system, but we need a system, doctors and lawyers, neccesary evils, But we need them, its the worlds way of staying afloat, weather we like it or not, itn even keeps these forums going, if were any different the way we like it, LIFE WOULD BE BORING? just my opinon...
*IF IT ISN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT*
I agree, I installed Firefox to look it over, way to much work, and depends on way to many plugins that it cannot install itself, the average user this is not for, need to incorporate the plugins in the install process, to say the least, I went back to IE, I just use the local Intranet for the sites I want top run scripts on, much easier process..
