. . Rob, you do know that Microsoft does that, don't you? They let people pirate OS software and use it for periods up to and including a month for it randomly crashes, in hopes of giving you enough time to create something important only so you could lose it.

I'd like to see proof of that.

I've had my XP for about 4 months and it has never crashed.

yeah, the answer to all questions is "download it on kazaa"

i have ME on my laptop, and last year it froze a lot. but this school year it seems to be working fine. and my dad can get XP home edition for $60

"I'd like to see proof of that.

Ask around, if you'd like. . .Being the computer expert you are, though, I imagine all of the answers lie on your table.

And is your version of XP pirated at all. Or, even so, there are some that can effectively crack it, especially post-release.
