So if someone has an XP or Vista system and never ever connects to the internet or a phone line even, they're violating the EULA?

F you M$, you guys are really going WAY too far...

That's why I'm currently sticking with W2K Pro and will for as long as I can make it practical to do so. And when it isn't anymore, that's when I'll finally switch to Linux.

... that activation, or rather changing the system so older OSs could no longer be reactivated, would eventually be used to "turn off" the software once it had been end-of-life'd, as a surefire way of forcing upgrade$. IMO that is what WGA and M$'s current policy of forced updates is ultimately about, regardless of any benign uses it has in the present.

Which of the following is a color?
Apple, Currant, Kia, Teal, Oregon, Ford

Er, could be apple, currant, or teal. [scratching head]

I have been buying microsofts shit since dos 1.0 at one time i could have even been considered a m$ fanboy for many years. After buying xp and doing the wga thing for the free software M$ shut my system down 5 times in 3 years for upgrading hardware on my sys. new hard drives, sound and video cards, Memory. Im not sure but one time they did it was after i moved my sys and plugged usb devices back in different usb ports. needless to say i now run a pirated version of xp and have no intention of buying another microsoft product. I also have purchased office, foxpro for dos and foxpro visual basic. xp days are numbered and i am set up with a dual boot running ubuntu. I would be there now accept for a couple of programs i just cant live without. Goodbye Microsuck kiss my butt.
