Yeah that guy was a real butt wipe....
Funny you should mention another OS today I downloaded Mandrake Linux 9.1 and installed it on the computer, it runs FANTASTIC!!! I think I'll keep it on there and play around with it more.
I would love taking ms to court over this but I don't have near enough the resources to do that. Hopefully Mandrake Linux will run good enough for me so I can just throw away all the microsoft stuff I have.

did they say why? Did u agree to anything saying that it could only be used on the laptop? if not a lawsuit might be in order, after lots of bitching though. sorry to be short, gotta go though.

you guys are off before the starter has fired. You can clearly see by reading the EULA for windowsXP that you can use your copy of windows ONLY on the first PC it was installed on. There's nothing you can do. you signed this right away by purchasing or installing windows XP, now you pay the price.
quote:Except as otherwise expressly provided in this EULA, you may install, use, access, display and run only one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE on the COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not be used by more than one (1) processor at any one time on the COMPUTER, unless a higher number is indicated on the Certificate of Authenticity.

that's just a sample, the XP EULA is filled with 4 pages of this tripe.
people who pay for windows deserve to get burned, not because i wish them ill but because if they are willing to buy microsoft then it will take an experience like this to make them see the light.
your choices:
a) keep paying for microsoft and get more of the same treatment
or
b) get a real operating system and leave the other windoids behind.

Unbelievable, just read through XP home EULA. Who would want to have anything to do with a company that behaves like that.
Disgusting :mad:

Calum,
In response to my choices:
A) I have learnt a leason here and will not pay for any ms shit.
B) I'm trying Mandrake Linux 9.1 is this the "real OS" you speak of or should I be looking elsewhere?
