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.

Who is complaining? I'm ridiculing MS.

Your posting style and rant site domain name are are more
reflections
of your immaturity than offensive.

LOL! It depends on how you look at it. I'm sure YOU see it as
immature. Most people that have problems with cursing tend to think
it is immature. To me, it is those that have problems with cursing
that have the maturity problem. They have yet to learn that words
can't hurt you, unless you let them.

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.

No. You listen better.

You should be aware that courts have ordered the cancelation of
domain
name registrations that so closely resemble trademarked names.

LOL! I won't be holding my breath!

I think
that's going just a bit too far, but I'm not the one holding the
gavel.

Then you pay someone to beat your head with 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.

ROFL! Let them try. I dare them!

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.

LOL! Empathizing with a soul-less corporation! I think I hear a very
miniscule violin playing in the background of your po' ol' Microsoft
story!

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.

LOL! Of course they could make a file management system and help
system that wasn't dependent on any web browser at all, if they were
required to remove IE. And we already know what the removal of WMP
has broken. Nothing at all.

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.

Too funny! You do realize that the piracy rate was steadily going
down every year until MS introduced its PA copy-protection to the
masses, don't you? And do you realize, that since then, the piracy
rate has stopped dropping?

So if you add up the costs of PA, in terms of infrastructure costs,
and the costs of customer dissatifaction, then it would be in a MS's
stockholder's best interest to get rid of copy-protection.

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!

Work for it. I have NO SYMPATHY for those that try to make money off
of money, but then lose money in the stock market! Just like I have
no sympathy for those that lose money due to gambling.
