you have to be joking. microsoft could charge £1000 for their software and people would still pay it because they are now locked into using it.

you play games on your new pc you have to use windows. linux games are scarce and decent video card drivers are even rarer.

Meh I don't care I don't trust MS to protect my puter anyways. I'll do that myself... Even if they do limit updates you can get updates from a non official source...

If you did actually buy the software you don`t have anything to worry about really and I hear that a keygen'ed key will work with the new authentication system.

you ungrateful bar stewards.

i for one am incredibly grateful that although they could easily disable my windows at any time and still be in the right, they turn a blind eye.

i'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you microsoft

I think some people are forgetting it's not as cheap to get an OS than it is in the US.

I think you need to start checking the UK prices to find out exactly how much we have to pay for it. You'll get a shock.

there's an idea.
Why has no one ever setup a better windows update website, or external program for this?
