You go over your online activation limit, your OS is limited (nag window). You call in to Microsoft support line, get a reactivation key, rinse and repeat.
Well seeing as how they are trying to make you buy the whole package ("I don't have viruses", "Look at what I was able to do with my built-in software" etc.) that would kind of defeat the purpose of their ads.
From TFA, it sounds like you really might not need an antivirus... if you lock it down with the parental tools so you can't download anything at all except from your own approved sites, that covers up a large malware attack vector that an antivirus is suppose to protect. After all, the role of the antivirus now and in the future will be that of a blacklist of known bad software. Everything else an AV does can be obsoleted.
I suppose it isn't entirely as bad as I initially thought. They introduced a new bug on Oct. 13 and discovered/fixed it the following week. That isn't nearly as bad as having that bug be in there for months and then finally getting discovered near the end. Though I guess you can argue that any new code that has a potential to seriously cripple the system should not have been needed near release in the first place.
...Attending a Jesuit university. I don't know if this is just because of the Jesuit influence, but fundamentalist Christians would surely hate our guts. Non-literal reading and analysis of scripture, ethics not entirely based on the papacy, evolution is fine (both embraced by John Paul II actually), toleration and even support of gays. Overall, a lack of hate or bigotry, even against some of the more hard-hitting issues like abortion. So yes, there does seem to be a "liberal" flavor to American Catholicism though I would technically call it moderate (in a number of Catholic communities at least). Though I did see some pretty fundamentalist Catholics while I was visiting in Arizona. So it really depends on region I suppose.
Why is it that Symantec and McAfee were complaining about it, yet Kaspersky and Sophos said it was fine? Does Symantec and McAfee do something different than Kaspersky that they can't adapt to it at all? Lazy programming?
The virtual credit number feature is a god send for online shopping. I use the one from Citibank. The virtual card number has a one month expiration date, and is tied to a single merchant (and can have a set spending limit). You can even close the number early if you have to. This is also especially helpful for doing "free trials" since you can close the virtual account after using it so they will never be able to "mistakenly" charge you later. Discover and MBNA also have similar features. I believe Discover actually lets you have a virtual account that lasts longer than a month.
He is using multiple hard-drives. I have all my media files on a separate hard-drive, and triple-boot with XP, SLED10, and Vista. It probably doesn't take long to figure out if Vista will actually destroy another hard-drive who's sole purpose is for storage, however you feel about MS developers.
I was under the impression that Dell only trains their employees for the distros they actually sell. Time = money, and with a company like Dell based on finding "innovative" ways to save money, Dell would probably not support any other distro (until it is economically viable, and it's not) regardless of any "pressure" from any other organization.
When I'm bored, I look through my spam folder, and put fake data on the phishing websites. Is there any kind of program that automatically does it? Remember Blue Frog? What if there was a program that did the same for phishing websites.
For the general Biology class, the professor sells the notes and slides to support the Biology club. $7 or so, gets you the packet of the slides shown in class. (Exactly the same as if you would have just written it down yourself)

...still not addressed? The problem isn't so much, can any one device beat the iPod, it is can any one device beat the iPod and iTunes.
I don't see any strange behavior... perhaps the poster has some spyware problem?

WoW is more addictive than Word.
I'm sure they would gladly give up data for U.S. passengers. Does the EU want it? No.
I bet it's because they used the word [b]Intel[/b] in the headline.
Our subconscious desire to be like Slashdot. Dupe.

In order to use PDF or XPS in Office 2007, you have to download a separate plug-in instead of having it included by default.

Don't they have tracer wires running alongside the plastic pies? Maybe that could help somehow?

Even if "no one" bought Vista, I doubt Microsoft would change. Now, if all the system manufacturers didn't preload Vista... well that's another story.
