Marks256 said:MY COPY OF XP IS NOT LEGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, i have perfect reason to be FURIOUS. I know for a FACT that that copy of XP was LEGIT! Huh, well, i guess after 10 years of loyalty to Microsoft, this is what i get.... DAMN MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill freaking Gates was my IDOL! And for what? To get stabed in the back? I have seen that SAME COPY of XP be installed about 10 times before, AND NOT ONE PROBLEM!!!!!!! Now, i get a new hard drive, and i CANT EVEN KEEP THE FREAKIN THING UP TO DATE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That is bull crap!!!!!!!!!!!

The End User Licence Agreement (EULA) says you can't transfer the license from on machine to another and in their eyes upgrading your hard disk or motherboard is like getting a new machine.
What they want you to do is buy a new copy of Winwoes every time you upgrade your PC. This is why I hate Micro$haft so much. They can't go round telling you what you can and can't do with your own PC!
I have a feeling that half of the crap in the EULA won't stand up in court anyway since you haven't signed it and if you're under 18 then even better.
I like Linux too but I keep on finding myself using Winblows to much nowadays. I swear, the nex machine I buy will either be a Mac or just have Linux. I don't see why I should give Bill another bloddy penny!

Besidesm, it's still a joke that the home user isn't allowed to upgrade their machin without buying a new OS.
Dr.EM said:I was not impressed with the Macs at college, both with the reliability and the general OS layout. I probably only used them for a few hours each week, but they were crashing at least once a month, often quite seriously. Someone in our class had a track they had made (this is music tech) revert all the instruments back to general midi for no reason. It took ages to get all of the carefully edited vst synths and sampler sounds back on, and the lecturer seemed to think it was pretty common! The PC i'm on now uses XP and is used for many hours every week; it has crashed 3 times in 2 years (not to put a curse on it) Probably twice due to a fairly heavily modified game I try to run on it that is pushing it a bit.

Have you used ReBirth at all? I'm going to add it to the setup after I install the newer old Mac in the system.
