  • What nonsense! What as a highway and cars got to do with a computer and an operating system?

    There are many free operating systems available now,but I don't know of many free cars or car wheels.

    For the record my copy of was not pre-installed but bought separately and legitimately from the store.

  • You don't know if your using Counterfeit Software. Because a lot of people don't find there operating system and install it, they most likely find it pre installed people think it's genuine. Microsoft have a right to do thing's to other people's computer because you don't own the OS just the ability to use it. But really is it right that if you rent a car that the wheels should be taken off while your in the middle of the motor-way because you did not pay up for the time limit?

  • Pay up you Chinese.
