Whoopy-dee-doo, a whole $20/month for internet. Not to metion I also have to pay for my cell phone $45/month, gas in my car $15/week. It all adds up. I could give a flying fuck about poor, poor Bill Gates. :dry:

sorry for the double post but hey shit happens.

is $150 alot to pay for software you use from the second you switch your pc on till the time you switch it off. is $150 alot to pay for the millions of lines of code people had to sit there and write to get this operating sytem up and running.

looks like you are gonna have to use your mobile phone less to be able to afford a proper copy of windows in a few months.

bill gates probably don't need the extra but he just pledged $750 million to help children all around the world so show some respect to the fella.

I don't like linux. :lol:
Well I do I guess, but I'm very fortunate for how microsoft has made Windows so easy to use. (well, imo anyway).
Still not paying for it though. And I still don't like microsoft. ;)

There are ways to protect your setup other than Windows Update.

Well I guess if it really came down to that, you could DL to a clean computer? Then share the fix. Is that what you mean VB ?

he probably means that you don't need the windows updates, they're more for insecure pcs with no firewall or anything like that.
And stupid users.

Just a thought then its bed time for Bonzo . What about a multi-computer household? I have three ! Maybe if they offered a reasonably priced home group license, people would not be so inclined to steal. There is no reason why it should cost $200+ for only one computer.

It's Microsoft, do you really think they care about us? As long as they get their money, then it's all good for them
