x64 pro activation removal ?

And like all your software is legit !!! Please !!

For some of us that's actually true, shocking as it might be for you.
It's not everybody so lucky to have as much money as you have, try to live
with 200$ a month that's average sallary in my country and than I'll ask
you how much legit software would you have.

Some people don't resort to theft, even when they are short on money.
I used to think that the first word of the previous sentence would
be "Most", but people like you make that seem doubtful today. Even so,
that doesn't make it right.
And please tell is it resonable that windows have same price in my
country in USA in UK and in india let's say ?

The owner of the copyright on the software has the right to set whatever
price they want. You can either buy it, or not use it. Or, you can be
a low-life scumbag and steal it.
Is it resonable that all hardvare have same price in all those
countries, althought in my cuntry
it's a litlle more expensive because all that gllobal market stuff !!!

Hardware vendors have the right to set any price they like on their
goods. You can either buy them, or if you think you can do better,
build your own and sell them to others for a lower price. Or, you could
sit around whining about prices.
Please think before you speak becasue i bet that you have 1000 of mp3 on
your pc that are illegal !!!

You would love for that to be true, because it would make you feel better
about yourself perhaps?
And to answer jokester yes there is a working crack and i can send it to
your e-mail if you want ?

This is the best reason I've seen for the US outlawing outsourcing until
stuff like this gets addressed.

You would actually do without Windows, then?

Try it for 2 months?

Now if you are talking about the windows in my house that's another story,
but the software is virtually worthless to me. I've been without it, well,
forever on my home machines. Went from DOS to OS/2, to Linux. Yeah, I've
got W98 installed on one machine, but only use it to try and duplicate
some other peoples problems. I was forced to use win and support others
on it at work, but here, no way. They'd have to pay me to use it. And it
would have to be more than a few hundred bucks. Come to think of it, I
don't think they could pay me enough, unless they'd let me just set up a
spare machine and run it in the corner connected to nothing.:)

If I didn't have enough money for a copy of Windows, I'd be working, not
playing around on a stolen copy of it and whining for absolution on
the internet.

Why not? Are you addicted to Windows?

Now if you are talking about the windows in my house that's another story,
but the software is virtually worthless to me.

I'm not enamored with it, but writing software for a number of platforms,
including Windows (much as it would be nice for that to be otherwise,
market share can't be avoided), I use it, but don't like it. XP is
better in a lot of ways than what has gone before it from MS, but it
is still a sieve.
I've been without it, well, forever on my home machines. Went from DOS to
OS/2, to Linux.

I went from various mainframe platforms, to HDOS, to CP/M, to DOS, to
OS/2, to SVR3 and SVR4 UNIX, then Windows (finally gave in), following
by Linux and more recently OS X. Sidetrips for development and porting
purposes to Solaris, *bsd, Xenix, Novell NetWare, Banyan Vines and even
QNX.

So, I don't have the luxury of being a one-size-fits-all person, but
my "do most things from here" system is rapidly becoming a Mac running
Tiger, simply because it's painless with respect to virii and spyware
currently, everything open source is already available for it or
can be compiled easily on it (porting Linux apps over is trivial, as
long as they don't rely on Linux-only stuff like /proc).

The biggest problem is I can't find a decent newsreader for it, so I
wind up vnc'd or rdp'd into another system for that.

Samba, ssh, etc. are all there, so compiling portable code for
multiple platforms from there is as easy as it is from anywhere
else, and it's the newest, largest memory system in the house, so
it makes a good place to run things from.
Yeah, I've got W98 installed on one machine, but only use it to try and
duplicate some other peoples problems.

I no longer bother with even having a test system for Win98, but have
several systems running XP in both x86 and x86-64 flavors.
I was forced to use win and support others on it at work, but here,
no way.

I know what you mean. But, the game market is there, so the kids would
have to mutiny if I banned it completely. As is, I spend more time
keeping their systems clean than I do maintaining all the others
combined.

Wes, I thought I was asking Randy.

Can't run my train sims on Linux.

It would be ok for internet, I suppose.

Actually, when you find that 1% of the US population has the same wealth as
the total of the "poorest" 90%, then you wonder why you should feel
duty-bound to make the large corporations richer.

I wonder what that was in response to, since you didn't provide any
context whatsoever.

I want to test out the new x64 but forgot about the activation so been on
a search to find a way around or crack of some kind. If you know of
somthing like what im looking for please let me know.

cheers, Jokester

From what I've read about the 64bit version of windows, it's not really
worth the effort. Unless you have programs specificly compiled for using
64bits, there's no improvement. In fact, the 32bit ones run slower...

If you really, really want to see 64bit performance, then grab a 64bit
distribution of Linux. It's really amazing how much faster things are when
running software optimized for 64bits, on 64bit hardware.

What do you have to do to "keep them clean"? I have Win XP at work, and
home, my mother uses XP, my brothers office has 5 XP machine and they just
work. (Most (90%) of the time, but that's just the way everything is.) If
you have to spend so much time "cleaning" your systems maybe you should run
an Antivirus program or something.

"Oh, so now I have to by ANOTHER piece of software to run Windows?"

No. use AVG. Works great and it's free, and you don't even have to compile
it!

I've used several flavors of Linux, Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, they are just
to complicated to get to work. Then you finally do and now I have to get
the software you actually wanted to use running, another hour, at least.
Then do it all over again for the next one. Oh, now there's an update.
Guess I get to recompile my kernel, again.

I see the truth has stunned you. But the high capitalists have you because,
what the hell is the alternative? Everything else was lousy too.

How about democratic production and distribution of goods and services?

But I'm not prepared to get into a long discussion on it...

What do you have to do to "keep them clean"?

The kids' computers a constant problem because of crappy sites like
nick.com, which has been the source of a lot of spyware, and more than
one virus. These little "click here to download this neat game",
screensaver, etc. is a pita.
I have Win XP at work, and home, my mother uses XP, my brothers office
has 5 XP machine and they just work. (Most (90%) of the time, but
that's just the way everything is.)

Actually, everything is *not* just like that. You might be happy with
10% downtime, but some are not.
If you have to spend so much time "cleaning" your systems maybe you should
run an Antivirus program or something.

No kidding. I do. That's why I know they've had virus problems. BTW,
virus software is not a guarantee against a virus, it just helps in
preventing those it already knows about.
use AVG. Works great and it's free, and you don't even have to compile it!

As if compiling it would be an issue. AVG has a less than stellar track
record, they frequently seem to be the last to get virus updates.
Independent test sites have failed them a few times in the past as well.

But, they are free. Strange that you're willing to pay money for an OS
that by your own numbers is broken 10% of the time, yet you want to not
have to pay for software to help increase the uptime.
I've used several flavors of Linux, Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, they are just
to complicated to get to work.

Strange, I find them all similarly easy to get to work.
Then you finally do and now I have to get the software you actually wanted
to use running, another hour, at least.

So, you could get it to work after all? Which is it?
Then do it all over again for the next one. Oh, now there's an update.

As if any OS never has updates. Be thankful that when you get a security
update for Linux, it's because of a theoretical problem, rather than one
for windows, which has been exploited.
Guess I get to recompile my kernel, again.

a) you have the option to recompile a kernel, try that with Windows.
b) you can just use the binary generic kernel for the update. Most users
do not need to compile a custom kernel.

Go to p2p and download the Corp version of Xp 64. No Activation just
needs a Serial and it Never tiimes out. Well thats what i have heard.

Could be wrong i am 50% of the time.

Top-posting aside, where did I ask for a bootleg (or otherwise) copy of
XP64?
