windows not genuine after 3 years

You know you got to hate microsoft, after three years of using xp which is
Dell oem, I get the message today windows not genuine. This cute little star
comes up and all. Well according
to my COA my version is not counterfeit. Now here comes Vista with all it's
new genuine checking ***. Not a chance in hell will I purchase it. BTW I
called Dell to inform them they
are selling pirated copies of xp. I also purchased the machine directly from
Dell so no middle persons involved. Just when you think you are save, along
comes microsoft.

I am not looking for any questions or answers, I am just going to change the
drive out and
go with Linux.

Merry Christmas
