OK...this is weird...I have been using my computer everyday for the past

today to find this weird message saying my Windows Software is not

this is not a virus either because when i checked it on Microsoft.com, it
told me that the
software is not valid. How did this happen...what can I do? What the
heck
is this about?? Anyone?

Call Dell. Apparently a lot of Dell computers have been flagged as not
"genuine". Hopefully, Dell will sue Microsoft and this spyware/malware
will be discontinued.

That isn't going far enough. These computer manufacturers should stop
bundling this toy operating system with their computers or at the very
least give the consumer a CHOICE as to what o/s they want installed on
their new box.
