hey microsoft thanks for making it impossible to just simply cut out the middleman and buy a fuckin windows 7 key (no you dont want windows 7, it's old. you'll use windows 8 and our halfassed quasi tablet gimmick and like it, bitch) meaning i have to purchase a full fuckin copy off newegg, wait a week for the package to come, toss the cdrom in a corner of the room to never use it again, THEN use the fuckin cd-key instead of, you know, allowing me to give you my credit card number and you giving me a product key i can use all in the space of four minutes.

but hey, your support is 3 for 3 in being cool and good to work with, theres that at least

yup. i'd buy a full version but i looked for like half an hour and i dont think they make non-oem w7 versions anymore, only oem versions of 7 and full versions of 8.1

rip, time to pray to the incan gods of motherboards that this drat mobo doesn't die 6 months from now

i made the mistake of running my boot camp partition on parallels vm. wandows detected "hardware changes" and made me reactivate. and then again when booting back to boot camp but by that time my activations were used up so I had to call microsoft and enter a huge random activation code manually

actually I remember back in 2000 or so adding ram to a new laptop required a call to a live MS rep to get windows unfucked. at the end I told him what I thought of the process and he typed it in and promised me that billg himself would read that I thought it was "really stupid and a waste of time"

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
