ATI (Under AMD) - Has Lost Perspective - "Of Who Their ClientsAre" !!!

On Thu, 31 May 2007 09:11:37 GMT, "Strutter" Who uses windows 2000 in this day and age anyway? You are part of the minority still living in the dark ages. Windows2k is WindowsXP. The real question is: why would you buy the same operating system with a lock on it's installation routine that you have to phone up billy and ask permission to reload it on your new hardware ? If you knew wtf you were doing, you wouldn't have to call. You install the ****ing OS with the CDkey provided, and that's it. Unless you're changing out half your system every couple of months, and then, it's just a toll-free phone call. I can't believe the lamers that bitch about that phone call. What a bunch of babies. . |

As you say: if it makes a difference. Here in Belgium, you have to phone
during working hours. So that if you go past the allowed number of automatic activations... Which I did because of a failing HDD that I had to send back for repair twice and which finally never worked properly again. To be honest, two years later my PC completely broke down (voltage regulators dead on the MB). I had to replace everything (MB, CPU, RAM, HDDs) and to my complete surprise, I could automatically activate WXP again from my genuine XP Pro CD through the net. "Shawk" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much for your kind comments.
They are well in the spirit of the newsgroups which are meant to help people to solve their problems. In fact, well in the spirit of your fake e-mail address. "GTD" wrote in message ... Michel R.

Do you live in Belgium? Have you ever phoned to MS Belgium? Outside of the working hours? |
