I used Windows 98 for years...only recently did I switch from 98 to XP and thats when I started having troubles...astions wrote:The final straw with me was when I replaced a motherboard and they (tried) told me that the Windows install was licensed to the Motherboard. I said well it's still using the same CPU, RAM and Hard-drives, what part of the motherboard is it licensed to!?!? After getting a supervisor on the phone they gave me an activation key. Uck.
I reformat/reinstall quite frequently...and then one day I get...Bzzzzzt...activation key expired or some b$ like that...I ended up having to call tech support and speak to some guy who spoke broken English to finally get everything working again...
More and more I'm thinking I'll make a switch to *nix but good...
Just that...i've been a Windows user since almost day one...so it'll be tough to say good bye
