Microsoft OS Monopoly

Yes I have and I've never liked how it operated.

 

reli? -cry2

o well.. everyone has his/her own preferences.. You jus dunno what you are missing out.. haha.. jking

 

I like the quality of apple comps though. I will stick with good ole Bill.

 

Thinkpad look too professional and sturdy (read: not pretty) for my taste... I know it's supposed to be the one of the BEST laptop out there. But prettiness is reall important to me too!

 

Microsoft has what is call an "oligopoly" not an monopoly, but it very close to being a "Mono".
the only piece of software I brought from MS is Win98....the rest is....hemphemp p***ted.
----------> note I didnt admit to doing something illegal. no, you didnt heard it from me, hehehe

 

^ I thought we got over the economics terminology 101 already... but yeah, the last piece of righteous MS ware I got is XP which comes with my laptop...

 

^ lol.. but I will have to get one soon.. XP SP2.. need it for my mac so that can dual boot..

 

^ It's going to be a burn in the wallet... But I guess it doesn't matter that bad to Mac users as they can afford Mac

 

lol.. its abt 1/20 the cost of my mac.. but I need it.. so no choice. N I think shouldn't use pirated OS.. can't update.. and windows need lots of update..

 

^ That's why I wanted to get a Mac next time... free from the evil grasp of Windows.

 

^hey.. that sounds like a great suggestion.. so.. will you be that buddy?

 

I will be your buddy and I do accept cash, credit, and money order. i think I have a spare oem key lying around here somewhere.

 

^ haha.. always ready to do business? Well.. obviously the reason why I asked for a buddy is to avoid paying..haha.. If have to pay.. might as well get a legal copy right?

 

good enuff. ppl studying MD have only pass/fail ...scrary if you think about it. u don;t know if the doctor is a D- doctor or an A doctor,,,

 

well my oem key is legal and it's a private and not corporate copy. and yeah windows xps are still $100+ in us d in stores. Hey xiaojia did I tell you that I also accept paypal?

...
One thing I hate about -censored microsoft is that some versions of windows oem keys are logged into their database and then you have to call their outsourced customer service reps everytime you reinstall. They call it anti-fraud but I call it a pain in my ass and it violates by privacy.

Also don't get fooled>.< ; XP + Xp2 online patch = Windows Xp2 and it's not a new version of windows xp; only just patched up version.

 

Updates won't work with pirated copies of Windows? This CD key I googled must be legit!!

 

haha.. i've no choice. Mac bootcamp only works with that version...

 

time to all go legit and support my dude Bill Gates... I mean dude be going to Beijing!! Time to show him support from the Asians..
