Why My Computer was Changed to Computer in Vista

Because it no longer is your computer. It belongs to MS now. You have a
limited agreement to use it at MS' pleasure.

windows box. Thats called hacking. People who do hacking are called
hackers."

I hope you weren't one of the folks who complained that "My Computer" was a
bad name... "My Computer", "My Documents"... I'm glad that crap is gone.

And one didn't have a limited agreement with XP? Or 2K? Or NT? Or Win98? Or
Win95? Or Win3.x? or Win386? Or Win286? Or Win1.x?

Yes, one did. It took awhile for MS to realize that "My Computer" might
cause them problems when, in actually, it is NOT your computer as long
as you have Windows on it.

Not so sure. When you click on the "I Agree" button on the EULA, you assign
all rights to your computer over to Microsoft. That means they can come
into your home at any time, take your computer and sell it on eBay if they
wish :)

I used it for a couple of weeks before activating... Nothing seemed to
change???

Jeff

Next time, don't activate and see what happens.

Heh. Or change the NIC, video card and hard drive and see what happens
to "your" computer.

Remember the old TV show opening, "We control your audio, we control your
video......"?

Every new version of Windows brings that closer and closer to reality!
