Buying Windoze XP

[Vincent]

I've used CCleaner.  Never had a problem with it :-)

"I've had so many problems with viruses and spyware that buying the full program and having access to the MS anti-spyware suite doesn't sound like a bad idea."

I know /. isn't the most reliable source of information, but...
M$ downgrades Claria adware detections

Windows is crap.  It's runing the planet. It you must have it, for gawd's sake, don't pay Bill Gates for it!

If you use XP, stealing it is a moral obligation. You must not aid and abett the dark forces  of Microsoft.



Death to Gates & Ballmer!

But we cannot condone piracy of any kind!

Windows is crap.

Dont use it then. End of.

Oh, just buy a Mac Mini.

Don't be a wuss. Just pirate XP like the rest of us. Not like it's worth paying for or anything.

Telling people to pirate software was supposed to be against this sites rules. Well if thats now ok then i can happily inform people the following files will be uploaded to alt.binaries.warez.amiga over the weekend.

Edit by admin : Direct "apparent" link to copywrited materials.

Alternatively, why not install Linux (Fedora Core 4 is a good recommendation) and save yourself the money and your PC from a life of Microsoftness! After all, UAE is also available for Linux, and that's surely the only reason for needing a PC!!

Unfortunably, that's not true ...
I work with Matlab at my work and is there an AMIGA version?

And I really doubt MathWorks will ever consider a port of it...

Sorry, but i'm just being realistic.

And I realy don't like Linux. It's too bloated also, full of package dependencies really badly managed. The learning curve is steep even for an experienced computer user (and life is short) and a nightmare for people who don't know too much about computers... (and their not obliged of course).

It's really a shame that the AMIGA didn't make it... The OS is great (although the famous guru meditation errors).

Good luck, Pegasus and AmigaOne ... you really need it.

@ Paul_Gadd

He didnt actually post any refrence to any copywrited material. You did (not that I checked, being in work and not having access to newsgroups. So i edited your post "just to be sure").

With reguard to what Boing has posted, well if he wants to openly admit he uses a pirate copy of windows on a public forum, more fool him than anyone else. He didnt post a link, or any idea to whereas the material can be obtained. (if he did and I have missed something, i apologise).
