Re: [RANT] vista can only be reintalled once?
said by Shootist  :It wasn't directed AT you. It was just a response to the whole thread. said by CylonRed :said by Shootist :Well the whole point to the GA system was to stop piracy and increase there bottom line, ER stop them from losing money because of piracy. You would think once that came about the cost of software would come down. Yeah right. Now that MS has perfected this system they are raising the cost to everyone and to top it off they have so many different version which one is for who. I know that most would be OK with the home version. But if it's anything like XP home, with no ability to change security settings, then I would want the pro version. But which version is the pro version and what outrageous price do they want for it. Lets face it, it is a operating system. I see no new features in Vista. It doesn't have a better file system, it's the same as XP. What you can't do without the eye candy?? If I'm actually using my PC for what it was intended for I never look at the desktop except at bootup and when shutting down. Not at all sure why this was directed toward me... Ok - usually when a post is quoted by someone in their post - it usually means the specific post is being replied to and not the entire thread...
