After reading the link in its' entirety, how bad I now feel purchasing and
being forced to activate this product just so I can use it. What an insult
activation now seems. Even though I use a Linux distro as well (SuSE), I'll
never dismiss Linux users as wingers with out a solution any more
(previously I have in this news group), different kettle of fish I know. May
Microsoft Windows XP Pro and Home (and Server 2003) go off with the pirates
and use Factivation to get it working, knowing what the F stands for.
I don't hate Windows, I don't even thinks its' a bad OS after all. After
reading that webpage I can guess I'm one of those lucky persons that WinXP
and SP2 pro has never crashed on me and everything ends up working properly.
A feeling of distain tends to ferment in one after reading that article.
Great link NoStop, more than just a rant, and should be called something
other than IHateMS to get more serious users (licensees) and distributors of
the licence reading it.
You reckon Bill took the cake and ate it? See for yourself
