What does

*not*

mean? Why wouldn't you just say NOT without asterisks.

Can you please quote sources? Mr. Gates has been most kind in activating (approving) several copies of Windows XP for me after purchase of a COA liscense with hardware.

In addition, Mr. Gates sold me a Full Install Retail Version of XP Pro for $40 (retail $299). It also included a bobble-head Bill Gates doll and a commemorative baseball with a full pack of Big-League Chew bubble gum. I sh!t you not. I got two of them.

And honestly, if you've got time to call 1 (800) RU-LEGIT, then I think you're a little too scared.

Who printed out and distributed my shiny new COA for XP Home? Microsoft.

Who got $50 of my $55 COA? Microsoft.

Who activated my new Home XP installation? Microsoft.

Who helps me download all of the 100 MB of updates for the 'modern' *ahem* OS without any qualms? Microsoft.

Did I break a law? Agreement? Trade treaty with southeast Asia? Nuclear nonproliferation pact?

C'mon.

I've got a shiny little Microsoft-minted sticker on my little baby. Bill Gates loves me.

And to get back to an older statement... Damn straight!!! If you paid over $1 for Windows Me - you should get a free pass to XP!
