Hi to all we got this letter from Microsoft. Anyone can give more details. I know about pirated copies. Is this mean every windows pirated copies will be affected after September 2008. Please read this and give your opinion. Please tell me more information about this happen.
Duck OFF !! Microsoft DUCKS !! Look ang, go read the Why Bill Gates named it Microsoft and you'll know why they sent that message (He needs the money to enlarge it)
Hehe... I do hope so... I have 3 legal copies of XP and 2 legal copies of Vista, black screen lmao... I love the sound of that...
I thought Microsoft have done this before and now I'm seeing they're doing it again. I'm not supporting piracy, but all the people who use a pirate copy of Microsoft Windows just need to turn off the Automatic Windows update to avoid this problem. But I guess, many non computer geeks will fall into this Microsoft trap.
I heard of this rumor circulating and personally I do not have much sympathy to those who choose to use the pirated versions. No one can argue about having no money when Ubuntu Linux, Open Office etc are there for you. It just take up a bit of your time being accustomed to it. Beats being a pirate anytime any day.
you can easily remove black screens read http://linkw.info/2008/08/windowsxp-black-screen-mess/ Code (markup):
Yeah mostly for a very little amount of money, example one copy of windows XP professional i brought boxed and sealed from a mate for £5, that works out about 9 US dollars, is it worth paying 9 US dollars to be legal?, yeah for sure would be my answer... 95% of windows updates are security updates to patch and plug holes that could compromise your privacy and system, I once seen an interesting article on a television programme called Click on the BBC, they installed a fresh computer with a old clean copy of windows XP SP1 and then connected it to the internet, within a period of 1 minute it had been compromised and infected multiple times...
Yeah i completely agree, Ubuntu, Gentoo ect ect ect, theres no need to run a pirated operating system, you can even get yourself a free legal win32 based operating system ReactOS...
Here's the workaround from http://www.beatwindowsnoproblems.com When black screen is present. Hit CTRL-HJK_+ Hit the space bar twice Hit enter. Aparently that should get through.
