Most servers don't honor XNA and they don't have to, there is no
requirement that xna be honored. Take into account all the web sites
that mirror Usenet and you're really screwed if you think you can
protect the content of your posts - face it, you put them into a
public forum, just as if you had shouted in a public area.

The above post was pulled from MS's Servers. MS has know since XP was
in Beta that their too many installations PA message is confusing and
misleading. That it is now 2006, and MS has yet to change that
message, is a clear indication that this is purposeful, as changing
the text of that message would be the easiest fix MS would ever have
to make. But nearly 5 years later, still the same misleading message.
If MS REALLY cared about its customers, that message would have been
changed long ago, but that nearly 5 years has passed with MS doing
absolutely NOTHING to change the message is pretty much proof that
this misleading message is totally purposeful on Microsoft's part.
Instead of censoring me for pointing this out, if MS wants to
demonstrate that what I'm saying isn't the whole story, then CHANGE
THE EFFIN' MESSAGE! By censoring me, MS is showing that they'd rather
hide from the truth, than do what is right for its customers!

Jim said:Look. Say you're right, MS are Evil, Corrupt, all that.
A lot of the people here have just coughed up a lot of money for their
computers, and they're having trouble. Your shoving The Truth in their
faces isn't going to help them one... damned... bit.
A lot of the remaining people are trying to help them. Your shoving The
Truth in their faces isn't going to help them one... damned... bit.
So if you want to help, try to take a load off what we're doing. Find
answers we can actually *use* to the problems we're having. If the only
solution you can offer is to buy a Mac or get with the Linux movement,
then you're going to have to actually *convince* people that that will
help them with the problem they're trying to fix. Fixing problems is
why we're here.
And you're playing a losing hand. Microsoft are *rich*, Evil and
Corrupt. You don't get that way by being politically tone deaf. They'll
wait until you've wasted just a little bit more of our time and then
start canceling your posts, because they'll know the rest of us will be
positively grateful to them for doing it.
Or you're wrong, and they're just trying to please their customers, and
we'd all be ever so grateful if you'd just give it a rest.
Or you're partially right, and we could spend eternities examining all
the parts to decide where you're right and where you're wrong, except
that wouldn't help us with our problems one... damned... bit. And you
don't have any, which leaves us feeling like dingleberries.
So, please: give it a rest. Better yet, train that high-powered
perception of yours on *our* problems. Help out a bit. Offer something.
It's never too late.
