My apologies to Carey for changing his sex. I don't know Carey personally i
am only aware of 'him' through the newsgroups. I am aware that he gets some
undeserved criticism for his comments, which is a shame considering, like
me, he is only trying to help others!

Carey should be please to know you have changed *his* gender ;-)

As for Carey, while i respect her views, i am not in the scaremongering
market. I, and every other MVP, including Carey, have no reason to make
Microsoft out as the 'good guy'. We are totally independant and Microsoft
have no influence over our views. If Microsoft attempted to influence my
views i, again like most MVPs, would gladly relinquish the MVP title.

If you go out and buy an OEM copy of

problem is when you try changing any hardware. It is then that the

As the saying goes 'caveat emptor' (Buyer Beware!) If you are going to
buy software but retail versions 'not' OEM
False. This is only true of DEll/HP type OEMs. Generic OEMs will
activate no problem even if you, gasp!, change the motherboard. In
Spain, where I live, you cannot buy a full retail version anywhere and
all the retail computer stores only carry generic OEMs, so you were
saying?
You're just another MVP like Carey Fritch who tries to scare newbies
into buying retail. Either that or you're merely ill informed.
