Well, i am board, and, please excuse my language, but i can't think of anything else to sum it up in one word; I AM PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About a week ago, my fathfull 20gb MAXTOR hard drive(EIDE) failed on me, and i lost everything. That was no big deal, because i had all my stuff backed up on my laptop. The big problem was, i needed a new HD. So, after about an hour of looking on EBAY, i found a new 40gb SATA hard drive, and purchased it. It came yesterday, and i formated it, and loaded my LEGAL copy of Microsoft Windows XP Pro. Everything went smoothly.
I just got home from school about 40 minutes ago, and was really eager to to rip some music off of a couple of AC/DC CD's one of my friends let me borrow. Now then, i hate Windows Media Player 9, which is what comes standard with XP Pro. As i went to Windows Update(to get media player 10, which i love), i downloaded the validation tool, as i have hundreds of times before, and to my horror; MY COPY OF XP IS NOT LEGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, i have perfect reason to be FURIOUS. I know for a FACT that that copy of XP was LEGIT! Huh, well, i guess after 10 years of loyalty to Microsoft, this is what i get.... DAMN MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill freaking Gates was my IDOL! And for what? To get stabed in the back? I have seen that SAME COPY of XP be installed about 10 times before, AND NOT ONE PROBLEM!!!!!!! Now, i get a new hard drive, and i CANT EVEN KEEP THE FREAKIN THING UP TO DATE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That is bull crap!!!!!!!!!!!
Gez, if Linux wasn't so hard to use, i would COMPLETLEY MOVE TO LINUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
