XP Evaluation Copy

[imported_Trippin315]

Got a copy of XP Pro SP1 Evaluation disc. Is there an easy way to make it a full version of XP?

 

[Smilin]

Do you mean you have a regular copy of XP and wish to use it now without a reinstall?

Or do you mean convert a eval copy into a full copy (aka, remove the timebomb)?

 

[imported_Trippin315]

Remove the time bomb.

Sure... head down to your local computer store and purchase the full copy.

Ah, ok. In that case fvck off.

There are quite a few MS people (and former ones like myself) on this board who spend a great deal of their free time coming here to help people out. I think Anand and the rest of the community appreciate their participation a bit more than yours.

A mod should be along shortly to lock the thread and maybe give you a vacation.

Have a nice day.

can you explain the word "fvck" ? i never saw it before, is it a typo so you intended to use u instead of v ? or you spelled it on purpose like that for some retarded reason ?

Wow, I leave for a few days and the no0bs are killing themselves without my prompting.

Did life just render me obsolete?

Have you tried swearing on these forums?

If you just have to activate windows, call microsoft. If you pirated the OS, the go buy it or figure it out yourself.

Linux is free and doesn't need to be activated, how about Xandros?

If he has to ask what he is asking, the linux install process would be too daunting.

I'm pretty sure that the word did arize from that typo. The C and the V were just so close, it happend often enough, plus it gets arount filters . . . .which is something people have been doing since before I was born.

It amazes me that you haven't seen it before.
Try posting something with the "real" word in it.

The real word itself is censored.

You'll also see it spelt fsck.

That however, is a bit of geek humor.

fsck = UNIX file system checker.

This is like the #1 unspoken/listed rule here. Never ask about warez unless you're ready to be flizamed.

[Tarrant64]

Sometimes I wonder if the mods don't lock it just to get a bit of humor. This thread is going nowhere.

 

[Smilin]

nah, it was pretty much doomed from the start.

i wonder what you mean by censored ? I can tell you for a fact it's not automatically removed as I've seem many (non retarded) people use the actual word and it's appearing in their posts. Seems to me y'all don't really know what happens and are just afraid to try and see for yourself.

In case you didn't realize it, sites with this sort of thing (in the USA) are shut down within hours of the their URL being posted. The easier it is to find the info, the faster it gets shut down. If Anandtech allowed the info to appear, it would only doom it faster. Get it?

I've posted links to free downloads of free linux distros, that disappeared off the sites forthwith. I didn't know the reason people were having trouble finding a copy is that those versions had been embargoed by the distro maker (until later.)

Of course there is. Happy hunting. Or why not copy onw of your pals CDs. Seriously. Or you could download the real thing too, minus activation. Fvck Microsoft and their air-head promoters Not that I personally have anything agianst MS. I like 'em. They are heros to me in several ways too. It doesn't cost all that much for a legal version (which I have.) I just resent the constipated A-holes, with sh!t where brains should be, that seem to dominate this forum.

BTW, you can subscibe to newsgroups. Unfiliter, uncensored. Easynews. Newsguy. Its all there.

However, if the software is of value to you, don't you think it is worth paying something?People have to put work into these things to make them. If you aren't going to pay, then how is it going to come into existence?

Yeah, and then I make an extensive reply to their posts, not noticing that it contains a "reserved word", and then the board software flushes my entire post down the toilet, because of the way it is written, I can't use the "back" button on my browser to attempt to edit and re-submit the form.

Oh, and "fvck" would be the ancient greco-roman spelling, you know like how stonemasons engrave things - they don't carve a "U", they use a "V" instead, because it's easier. So it adds a sort of renaissance appeal to posts.
