The above post was pulled from MS's Servers. MS has know since XP
was in Beta that their too many installations PA message is
confusing and misleading. That it is now 2006, and MS has yet to
change that message, is a clear indication that this is purposeful,
as changing the text of that message would be the easiest fix MS
would ever have to make. But nearly 5 years later, still the same
misleading message. If MS REALLY cared about its customers, that
message would have been changed long ago, but that nearly 5 years
has passed with MS doing absolutely NOTHING to change the message is
pretty much proof that this misleading message is totally purposeful
on Microsoft's part. Instead of censoring me for pointing this out, if MS wants to
demonstrate that what I'm saying isn't the whole story, then CHANGE
THE EFFIN' MESSAGE! By censoring me, MS is showing that they'd
rather hide from the truth, than do what is right for its customers!


Why can't you provide a clear explanation of your complaint without
linking to a domain with a derogitory name?


Why should I explain what people can see for themselves? And tough sh*t if you don't like the domain name. If you think its derogitory, then maybe you should have just moved on.


Maybe the earlier messages were deleted because this site is operated
by Microsoft to be allow people to assist each other instead of an
oportunity merely complain.


Maybe then they would have pulled the entire thread then. I wasn't complaining in the post that was pulled. I was answering another person's question.


Some Usenet alt. or rec. group might be
more accomidateing to articles that are merely rants. If your ISP
doesn't offer a Usenet server, you can access them over the web
through Google Groups.


What does this have to do with anything, dickless?


Is this about a product refuseing to activate over an internet
connection?


It's about the PA message after that, moron.


If so, have you tried activating useing the toll free
telephone number?


Does the message clearly state to try phone activation? NO, sh*t-for-brains!


If you used the toll free number were the
representatives cooperative?


If by co-opertive, you mean speak did they speak American English? NO! MS has outsourced its PA phone center to India or Pakistan, or some such south asian/Indian sub-continent nation


You are NOT enhancing your credabilty with the thinly disguised
curseing in your message.


Real men have no problems with so-called cursing. Only those that believe in political correctness and/or religious fairy tails have problems with it!


We could have easily understood that
portion of your displeasure with just "CHANGE THE MESSAGE!"


Blow me, weenie boy! ROFL!


(Dons fireproof briefs)

I don't have to act like a jerk when I complain about things.

Your posting style and rant site domain name are are more reflections of your immaturity than offensive. I'll give you credit for not lieing down on the floor and holding your breath though. I know PLENTY of blue language, but I just don't need it. People listen BETTER when it's not present.

You should be aware that courts have ordered the cancelation of domain name registrations that so closely resemble trademarked names. I think that's going just a bit too far, but I'm not the one holding the gavel. Posting links on the trademark owner's forums probably increases the probablility that the similarity will be brought to their counsel's attention, although they probably periodicaly perform searches for that variation anyway. It wouldn't suprise me if "your" domain name has been taken from a few previous owners already. I can't imagine their cease and desist letter containing language resebleing yours.

I'm no fan of product activation or obscure error messages either. EVERY time someone needs telephone activation it costs Microsoft for overseas phone charges and labor costs (even though at low overseas wage rates). All the questions here about how to get past that message don't help them either.

There's a lot of other Windows features that make me wonder "What were they thinking!?". They are bound to incorporate a few more ideas in each version of Windows that were previously available in Linux and Macintosh operating systems though.

And if ALL of Internet Explorer and or Windows Media Player are removed, as some governments have suggested, I suspect some features of Windows Explorer and the help functions of a lot of applications will be disabled.

Add numerous stockholders and the need to preserve the company's intelectual property rights (like copyrights, trademarks and technology licenses from other companies) to Microsoft's motivations. While Mr Gates probably owns a BIG block of Microsoft stock, I would be suprised if he owns more than a few dozen percent of the shares. Read the list of stocks held by a mutual fund sometimes. A LOT of mutual funds own Microsoft shares. There's a good probability your parents, grandparents or neighbors own a little bit of Microsoft through a mutual fund. Money isn't everything, but it's sure handy when you want a loaf of bread at the supermarket!
