I call home when I get lost taking a detour trying to get to the beach.

Basically looks to be the same thing to me. So I don't really see how anyone could take offense to the other statement.

Talk about splitting hairs...

I'm glad to have been able to tickle yer funny bone/animate yer laughing gear/give yer a giggle/bring a smile t' yer dial.



Aw look, I've been a bit off since birth. My mother reckons I was a difficult child who always missed the bus by "that much". I'm just glad she didn't end up marrying her childhood sweetheart, Billy Smart, and calling me Maxwell.

I suppose the other contributing factor to being a bit off would have been the staple diet of curried cabbage... which I was introduced to at a very young age cos curried cabbage was all we could afford to grow in our 3' x 3' garden plot, we were so poor.



I have no doubt XP will be around on peoples PC's for years to come... and MS will continue to provide security updates/patches and etc. However, the sale of XP OEM's is set to cease as of June 08, according to MS/Steve Ballmer. Personally, I hope XP support is around for a while to come, being that I have 3 XP/Vista dual boots in the house, and 2 XP rigs as well.

How much you want to bet we still see XP OEMs being sold at Newegg or Ebay after June?

Well not according to Steve Ballmer... I suppose we'll just have to wait and see if consumer demand is enough to change MS' stance.

Ans since when do we trust that nut job?

How can MS control what people do with their own copies?

Not include the tin foil hat, I guess.

Well when the acting CEO publicly backs a statement made you generally think... ok, maybe it will be happening.

No edit feature? I wanted to add that im sure we'll see them being sold on newegg until the stock runs out.

Yeah well Ballmer has also said he owns Linux. Then he went on to say all Linux users owe MS money.

Sure he's a wackjob, but he wasn't the only guy from MS to announce this.

Sad but true.

Fine you believe it exists and I do not, just leave it at that, no need to get testy, I wasn't trying arouse your ire... Though I do agree, as you so eloquently put: Steve Ballmer is a nut job. I'm not a linux fan boy, but I thought his comparison of Linux to communism was not only baseless but stupid.
