sorry it took so long to get back to you,
I've been installing etc.
I ended up getting the OEM because in December, hopefully
I will be getting an upgrade to Vista.
Your choice, of course.

Many people, while using a MAC or Linux system will not be any better
off. Most people don't care about the licensing, as it doesn't matter
99% of the time, what they care about is ease of use, working with the
latest/current hardware, application base, and being able to get
support.
against ease of use!

Never had a problem with almost 1500 activations of XP and never had a
problem with hundreds of activations of Office.

So that's a sampling of 1500 out of how many hundreds of millions? VeryNever had a problem with almost 1500 activations of XP and never had a

scientific conclusion indeed to lead one to insist that there is no problem
with MickeyMouse's WPA/WGA.

It's probably not a problem for people who buy a Dell and don't upgrade
much. MS wants to wipe out the white box and force us all to buy an HP
or a Dell.
How much hardware upgrading do you do, Lethos?

NoStop said:Well a PC that has "burned" certainly sounds like something more than a
failed hard drive. Anyways, the mystery is solved later ...
"My PC has crashed and burned". That is a vague and generalized statement.
Says nothing specific. "with the hard drive shorted out and not
recoverable" qualifies what the first part of the statement declared. I
didn't see a big problem in interpreting what was said (as opposed what the
OP might've been said or how many different ways it could be interpreted).
The OP also posted later: "BTW the MB and Graphics card also went west so
it
is cheaper to by new than repair."
Sorry, there is no way in making Usenet posts to make them conditional on
LATER posts.
Get it yet? <sigh> Probably not.
You asked me to qualify my statement which was made at a specific time.
Obviously any statement is based on the information that has been provided
up and until that time. I don't use an Ouija board. Yes, more information
was provided LATER, but *you* asked about my statement made EARLIER.
Get it yet? <sigh> Probably not.

Sorry no banana. YOU are the one that still doesn't get it. My
interpretation of what the OP said was the correct one. Yours was silly
speculation based on how YOU wanted to interpret the message. I guess that
is just part of living up to the term "vanguard". Always in the lead, but
failing to look back to see if the rest of your troops are following.

Oooh, you got lucky and want to proselytize your omniscience. How wonderful
for you. Having fun stroking your, er, ego for *happening* to be right
(this time)? However, from your other posts which are providing no help to
the OP, you must be overjoyed that you, a troll, have captured yet another
user in your snare. You must squirting with joy, or with something that
pleases you.
