Windows vista "looses" activation

[Alias]

No, *you* don't get it.

Yes, I do. You don't.

Snip unfounded insults.

Ouch!!!
I bet he got the point (sharp?)!
Well maybe...he's rather self consumed.
Frank

I got the point. Kristalbawl was just bawling and being insulting just
like you. No wonder you think it cool. Birds of a feather and all that jazz.

Instead of telling people they need a whole new progam, why don't you
just asnswer their questions about how to make the one they already use
work better?

I think the advice given by alias below is sound. He is merely pointing
out that if you run vista, you can't get rid of activation, and that
there are alternatives. In this situation, vista cannot be made better
in any legitimate way because you can't/shouldn't run it w/o activation.
Trying to critique other posters content just makes you sound like a
net nanny.

So, after "months" of not getting through it just decides it needs to be
reactivated?

Have you tested this theory? How long have you had Vista running without
allowing it to "phone home"?

Maybe something else is going on that the OP didn't mention, like a new
mouse with software that changed drivers, or adding a digital camera or
printer, or any other non-internet-related system change that shouldn't
have, but still might have, triggered the reactivation? Just because it
is not connected to the Internet, and not receiving 'updates', doesn't
mean there haven't been minor changes.

Yes, it's inconvenient, and buggy, and *not perfect*, but it's part of
Vista. Those of us who *want* to use Vista are learning how to use it
correctly, but you sound like you're trying to tell people that they
wasted their money and need to give up.

Those who *think* they want to use vista usually don't realize how uncle
bill and uncle steve are bending them over the table to rape them of
their privacy and control of their own computer. When they find out,
inevitably some of them want an alternative wherein they retain/regain
privacy and control. Linux to the rescue.

That makes you a quitter! So, quit telling people to throw in the towel
and let the rest of us get the job done.

OK, we'll just continue to point out the better alternatives out there.

You've always complained that Vista was too expensive which implies that
you can't afford it.

Hi Frank

Just because vista is a ripoff (esp. in his neck of the woods), does not
mean he can or can't afford it.

He has xp home.


Hummm...I "lurk" in the XP ng...where I see you've had some problems
reloading xp home...or was that typo?




So you've not been saying the same thing for months, advocating ubuntu
linux over Vista? It that not true?
It appears either you're suffering from a short term memory loss or else
your a delusional person or else you're the one who is lying?
Care to come clean or should we just move on?

I can get a generic OEM version of Ultimate 32 bit for 151.90 euros as I
have a friend who's a system builder. I still won't buy it unless they
nuke the permissions, DRM and ineffective anti piracy crap.

Nah...that's lie and you know it. You can't afford Vista so stop
pretending you can, ok.

Rock on Alias! I haven't spent $0.01 on Vista and don't plan to either.

No, it isn't and you can bet the farm that I know it isn't a lie.

Just curious, where do you get your information as to my financial
wherewithal?

Your imagination?

Thought so.

I really don't believe this will solve my problem. Calling by phone I will
have to send the same numbers to Microsoft (as the hardware has not changed,
I have checked these numbers are the same, since I have them written in a
paper from my first activation), so I will receive the same numbers I have.
And surely at the next reboot, the same problem... More or less, without the
call, this is what I'm doing now...

Searching in the Microsoft Knowledge Base I've found a patch to be used in
multi-license and OEM installations ( KB931573 -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/931573 ) However, my license is
from a "Retail Windows Vista"...

Call the Microsoft switchboard and ask if there is a patch for people
that do not connect the computer to the Internet. So, it will not
keep asking you to enter the number over & over.

Myself Vista computer boxes should come with a Warning Label.
This computer require Internet connections.

Upgrading from Vista to Ubuntu is *not* "throwing in the towel"; it's an
improvement. Of course, if you enjoy being constantly told that you're a
low life pirate, Vista is the OS for you. If you enjoy having to upgrade
all your programs individually, Vista is for you. And, last, but not
least, if you enjoy having anti virus, software firewalls and anti
malware using up your resources, Vista is for you.

You obviously aren't knowledgable enough to answer the questions being
asked. So please stop.

People like you are exactly the reason why people won't up(down)grade to
linux.

I've used unbuntu... recently (like a month ago). By the way, did they get
that silly issue regarding the broken mouse driver resolved? It's true, it
couldn't even figure out how to use a simple mouse. Your advanced, and
superior solution to windows couldn't even use a basic system component. I
managed to hack a solution by modifying some boot parameters in the
bootloader. I'll take my 'resource eating malware detection' any day over
that thanks.

Idiot.

Everyone, using a GUI desktop with Ubuntu is using a mouse. How come you
couldn't figure out how to do it? So, who's the idiot?
