Well, why should I have to pay £100 to upgrade to Vista, okay £70 because I bought the OEM version, and others pirate it for free?

MS's validation service was knocked offline for 24 hours by a DDOS attack only last week...
all machines requesting their daily validation during the outage were labelled as pirated
up until now, you only got a balloon bubble saying your copy failed. Now, you'll get an unusable machine
not a great incentive for businesses who typically have a global licence key for all deployed machines(\_ _/)

I'm with Ynot, I just don't trust Windows to be right. Now I'm even more definitely going to be dual-booting.

It's a distribution of GNU/Linux, which means it's more powerful, flexible, stable, secure, fast, and productive than Microsoft Windows. Oh, and it never gets viruses or any malware for that matter and all the software is free. Originally Posted by goldney
