Re-installing windows is so much fun

really, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my evening. Yay for laptops with backup 'net connections.

Yeah, really is fun lol - had to reload the bloody thing 3 times over the weekend. Microsoft ended up costing me £260 for nothing & have sent me a free copy of XP Pro to say sorry.

Reinstalling Windows is not as bad as realizing various things you missed backing up beforehand

If they can't keep XP running with some simple maintenence they will never figure out Linux.

omg, i can't even explain how frustrated I am right now. It refuses to take the registration key of my perfectly legal, totally paid for copy of windows xp pro and is now locking me out of my system. We tried calling them on the phone and they hung up on us twice.

Puleeeeeaaaazzzzeee....

enough...I think Linux has been around long enough to distinguish that the 2 are NOT interexchangable. I've run linux, and yes it is a (little) more secure, but the support to get anything done right will cost you. and if I have to pay for it, it better have support to go with it. Not begging some lonely freak on irc to please explain to me why my filesystem is not mountable.

Linux has it's place, on the server, and not on the corporate desktop.

okay, I thought it only fair to take back my frustration and say we finally had someone at the US customer service branch help us. Something went wrong with our registration and they gave us a new key..now, that wasn't too hard, was it?
