Xentales

WTF, one hardware change? screw that!

If I wasn't going to steal it before...

If Circuit City were sitting across from a police station, with 3 police cars in its parking lot, with police in them, I would still break in and steal that shit from the STORE before I'd pay for it. f- MS.

Whats wrong with XP Pro...?

Whats wrong with Win 95?

no DirectX 10

ftw

ME was almost as bad as 98.

To be honest, I was anti-windows, pro-mac and I liked the idea of Linux up until Win 2k and XP, when I realized MS can actually make a decent OS. Unfortunately, their protection for Vista is so inconvenient for legal consumers that only an idiot would pay for it.

I was very happy with '98 until several years after XPs release.

Well if this dosn't change then MS just lost another customer lol.

I will stick with XP until I absolutely must change for DX10. Then, I will steal an "uber" or "ultimate" copy of Vista. You know, the ones that come with lots of pre-installed apps.

what does this mean? you will have to get a liscense for everything you want to install?

Dear Mr. Korte:

DX9 has to to be used to it's full potential, and DX10 doesn't have enough of a performance gain over DX9 to be worth even stealing Vista.

XP Pro is the way to go, [i]barthelago[/i].

Well, for games anyway.

I heard 5 minor hardware changes, and 1 hard drive change.

some games (like Halo 2 PC) will REQUIRE DX10.

somone tell me wtf it means lol

Got a new video card? fine. Oops, now you want to put in some more RAM? buy a brand new copy of Windows Vista for ONLY 399.99!

wow wtf? do you have to get a new serial key and everything? if you arent exagerrating then yea ill be sticking with xp pro as well

Did that on VMWare with Vista RC1.

Added after 34 minutes:

oh and

ftw.

you have sex with that penguin dont you?

anyway, if MS came to their senses and just sold Windows Vista (full) for like 100$ and all the budget versions less than that, I think they would make much, much more money.

I agree. But, i actually dont mind paying 400$ for Windows vista.. if I know for a fact i only have to pay it ONCE!

Microsoft revised the Vista EULA and removed all of that stuff.

yeah I read that on slashdot yesterday. good for them... still stealing it though.

shane im jw what you plan on doing for a cd key? they will probably only allow 1 comp per key when it comes out.

just download a cracked copy. WGA is easily disabled, even in vista. I wont be able to download updates, but I dont care. Anti-Virus is your friend.

if you realy try you could probably find dl's for updates anyway =/

shit, i'd say the new unreal tournament they're working on will require DX10... damn damn damn!

As for cd keys, just phone when internet activation doesn't work. Trust me, I make about 3 of those calls a day at work. They only ask for the first string of numbers (6 out of 30) and then they give you a nice code to activate.
They don't expect anyone pirating windows to be ballsy enough to actually phone...

Yea, they don't expect you to pay for a new Vista key. You'd just have to activate over the phone every time you changed your hardware.

In a case such as mine, that'd get old, FAST. Thank god they changed the EULA.
