Reactivating vista 5 times.. are you saying you have a single-user license? if so, yeah you can't keep re-installing it on every machine you buy unless you wipe the old hard drives-otherwise its called piracy. You are not supposed to do it with AmigaOS3.9 either..
x86 Linux and Windows and Macs (whichever version you are talking about) are inefficient bloated resource hogs: GB of superfast memory, CPU''s running in the 1000's of MHZ,Terrabyte hard drives. WTF!!!! The OS is supposed to control the way the user interacts with the PC ie icons, menus, windows , dialogs, mouse pointer movement. Why in the hell do we need such advanced hardware to do such simple things? GEOS on a 6502 could do this. Why isn't the computer ready to go when I power it up, why don't we have zero boot times, why don't programs start instantaneously when I double click on their icon, why do menus stall before opening, why does everything go slower when i read a cd/dvd/hard drive. WHY ??Because the hardware architecture that any new computer you can now buy is based on the Windows-design: its windows that dictates hardware design. Even if Linux or MacOS runs on it, the underlying architecture is windows-compliant. Software ie other OS's can try to minimize the hardware constraints it can't remove them. At bootup, mouse drivers, keyboard drivers, video, USB drivers, cpu drivers, PCI drivers blah,blah all have to be loaded. Why can't this built into the hardware ie in the peripherals themselves so the OS immediately knows all about the hardware when its powered-up? The Amiga didn't have to load up aga drivers, floppy drivers, mouse drivers..
