Re: [H] Windows Validation tool

I am not thrilled about this but I have looked around, and discovered that once installed, this thing can't be removed. What I don't understand is why Zone Alarm has never asked me to OK a outgoing Internet message to MS?? Just a guess, but perhaps you had already OK'ed a certain Windows process earlier, and it just uses that same process. George

Re: [H] -N- AMD Prices Slashed
Yeah, wake me up when they slash the X2 prices by 50%, else I'm getting a Conroe system... George And on July 23rd, Intel drops the Pentium D 805 to $93. Dual core for $100...I think that's far more impressive.

Distributor prices seen by the INQ show that the Athlon 64 3000 will cost $89, the 3200 $99, the 3500 $109, and the 3800 $139. In the last case, that's a 50 per cent drop. (From The Inquirer).

Re: [H] I'm convinced, Vista is garbage.
Me on the fence on this one. fp Yeah, the DRM alone is enough to repel me. I just hope they keep supporting XP with service packs. It's been a while since SP2...
