I have read all these articles and while I could go and "de fang" SP3 I think that by SP4 or the next version IE I will be forced to undo anything that is here. I have Linux Red Hat installed and it is looking better every second.
So no time better than now to start the switch. Anyone used Lindows for a workstation yet? I haven't seen it running.

They are similar to the ones of the new Media Player. MS reserves many rights. Read the articles in the links below and you will see what they are referring to. There is just one snag. Think about security. SP3 is crucial and would leave them open for hacking. The tradeoff is not that difficult but definitely means a "choice between two evils" Unless you hack SP3 of course...[grin] More about that in the links below. Item about Win2k SP3, the 'snooper' license, and the workaround http://www.w2knews.com/rd/rd.cfm?id=020826RN-License_Workaround And here is an interesting article on how to defang SP3 all together! http://www.w2knews.com/rd/rd.cfm?id=020826RN-Defang_SP3 Regards, Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Wheatley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 8:20 AM Subject: Re: SP3 problem > Ummm did you bother to read the EULA for sp3 :) > > They get to look at anything on your computer whenever they want to check > for license compliance... > when i heard about that i was like..ummm sp3 will never be seeing my HD"s ;) > M$ what a bunch of F**kers. > One day the govt will be like..well we can search peoples houses without > warrents...look at M$ people have been agreeing to it in there EULA so i > guess the population wants it. > > See i knew M$ and the Fed Gov where in Cahoots > > Bill Wheatley > Senior Database Developer > Macromedia Certified Advanced Coldfusion Developer > EDIETS.COM > 954.360.9022 X159 > ICQ 417645 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jacob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 6:10 PM > Subject: SP3 problem > ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
