Windows 7

Uh oh! Looks like Microsoft already blacklisted the leaked OEM key!

The forum I posted a link to currently has lots of activity and new things/hacks already out.
Everything still works.

People like the challenge of cracking things. Win 7 is the new challenge. There are people there making their own hacked bioses to run Win 7. I find it quite interesting.

[jdog]

There's nothing to "crack". AFAIK it disables certain activation services.

Dual boot info for anyone who is interested: Win 7 and Ubuntu.

1. Install Win 7
2. Install a bootloader activator for Win 7
3. Install Ubuntu

Ubuntu actually recognises the Win 7 bootloader (calls it Vista bootloader).
So you can run an activated version of Win 7 and Ubuntu in dual boot configuration on the same hard drive.

If you had Windows 7 why would you even bother with Linux? It would be like handing a crutch to a track and field runner. :sarcasm:

You have an attitude problem.

Everyone has different needs. I've always tried to provide helpful advice here - stuff that maybe others are interested in.

Clearly you have no understanding of anything in this thread and continue to embarrass yourself.

You are now on my block list.

I used to enjoy contributing here.

Everyone has their opinions. Should not block people because they do not agree with you. I use Fedora, it suits my needs, but if somebody else thinks another OS is better that is their right and for them it might just be.

Yeah zaph, you know we love you...I think jdog was just being a little sarcastic, no need to be offended...! We're family..! :D

[zaphodz]

OK, glad to see it is cool to belittle other people's contributions.

I'll put whoever I want on my ignore list, thanks. I put up with obnoxious people in real life. Not going to do that in my spare time. Especially when they have nothing of value to add.

No worries. Since this sort of attitude is tolerated, I'll just stop contributing.

Yeah zaph, you know we love you...I think jdog was just being a little sarcastic, no need to be offended...! We're family..! :D

I was sort of kidding. There is in fact a "Sarcasm" specific smiley that I used. :D

I'm actually a real fan of Novell's OpenSUSE myself. Ironically the Ubuntu community seems to hate people that use OpenSUSE. Not sure if it's because of the contract that Novell signed with Microsoft for SLE or if it's because they don't like KDE fans. JK!

Anyway, good that he blocked me. He won't be able to see any of the passes that I post now! :dance:
