This is a question for you guys because I know nothing about the programming side, I just build and fix them. Do you think we could see the day when someone writes a nasty little virus/script which would require people to reactive enmass. I hope not but it's something to think about now.

To me it seems like I am claiming backpay from microsoft for Beta testing thier software but they don't actually pay me to do it. Our feedback contributes to the refinement of thier product, often leading to increased sales due to HAPPIER consumers. We all remember the Shutdown bug in 98SE. With all the possible PC configurations in the world Beta testing becomes increasingly important but I still have to pay for it. Yes I did pay for my RC1 preview cd but hate the PA. In Australia lots of people STILL don't have internet access and to be put on hold by Microsoft whilst incurring long distance call charges, just to activate windows is wrong. In effect they are encouraging the cracking of thier product. I think they are simply too arrogant to back down. As for this vile,shameful message board run by thieving moderators I say this - I thought America was all about Freedom of Speech......Correct me if I am wrong.

Bladerunner - Someone should RETIRE you. Me, I'll just hang out with the rest of the vile replicants. You just keep kissing old man Tyrell's ***. See you in hell, I'm sure of it. The edit was for a spelling error. P.S. Could someone please send me the crack for 2505 gekko56@bigpond.com

I would like to be able to download it, BUT my connection is unreliable ( I am 800kms from major city ) , phone calls are timed, 300meg download limit, disconnection every 4 hours, often less , I need my phone for work and trying to find a site is a nightmare ie. ***** Popup HELL 4.2kb second sucks. I want XP badly but not that badly Like I said, the weather is REALLY nice

Just ordered the CD from Microsoft Australia. I wasn't aware you could do that here until today. Just hope it gets here before christmas.

You Lucky,Lucky Bastards. Oh to live in America. Instead I live in Rural Australia with a crappy 56k connection. There's not a chance in hell I could ever download XP. But the weather IS nice. I tries the xp windows blinds and they were rubbish. Anyone feeling generous, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
