When contacted by ZDNet UK, Alexander denied that operatives would be dispatched into the premises of customers who attempted to buy a PC without Windows.
Instead, they will send Windows-preinstalled Seven of Nines...
that sure seems like a lot of work when MS profides a free Word 2003 Viewer just for that exact same purpose.
I don't have administrator (install) privileges, nor does my boss. And I won't tell the boss "hey call It so they install this and than open the damn file. Don't bother me with IT stuff anymore"... I need to pay the bills.
So, your IT department blocks printer installs but let you boot a separate OS from flashdrive? Interesting approach.
Nope. They only use Windows 2000 and Windows XP (trying to upgrade I guess). They block any and all installs as well as booting from portable OS. They cannot block portable applications (Portable OpenOffice and Portable Firefox) from being run though. Running these portables are like opening regular files. Or, even better, installing & running programs in Mac. See: http://portableapps.com/ (highly recommendable, only for Windows so far unfortunately). Unzip the zip file, and you have your Portable X "installed" (sic)
klik might be the Linux alternative for this? Maybe one day...
Overrated? Tell that to my boss, who has Word 2000 and can't open the brochures I prepare in word 2003 (same office building, bad IT). So I end up downloading Portable OpenOffice because I have no administrative right to install a pdf printer, open my Word doc in OOo, fix it, export to pdf, and send that... And I get overrated. peh!
how much would you lose? How often do you visit other countries' web sites? How often do you e-mail people in other countries?
Here is my "insightful" response to these "overrated" questions: All the time. Out of 100 sites I visit, only 1-2 are sites from my own country. Out of 100 emails I send, 20-30 are going to my country.
This is a honest question (that I previously asked in a wrong way): how is it possible that Windows drivers for Mac are written in a couple of days while open drivers for Linux get written sometimes in a year or so? Isn't hardware proprietary in both circumstances? I'm jealous...

Kiosks my ***... those are called "Internet Cafes" and they are expensive (more expensive than owning your own computer).

Mac already works like this as far as I know.
2. Doh, than the boss would be able to edit the file I did with so much effort...
3. You pretty much know what my point was...
This is just a badass joke, isn't it?
I would get bashed like a patato, modded "overrated" and "flamebait" and "offtopic", and buried for the eternity. Wow. Life is like online poker...
Yes, you guessed right: I'm not "American"...
One more thing Germans can be proud of. They are a nation of proud collection...

Looking at bugzilla instead of forums will help you to find memory bugs that are there. The fact that you're not getting it is irrelevant.
