    Mac users are too dull to know if their machines are working properly and, in consequence, never criticise them.

    Angry

    We bought a laptop in Thailand with an " absolutely genuine " Windows installed .

    Got back to England and immediately got those annoying Desktop messages and they always blacked the Desktop Page .

    So the shop lied . Simply lied . Surprise .

    Went back to Thailand and on the last day there we bought a Genuine Windows System for 5000 baht at a big proper IT shop . But we then went to the airport and didn't install it until we were back in England.

    And Windows gave us the message all over again because you have to physically install it in the area where you bought it .

    So after spending 5000 baht we get more annoyance for 2 years until we were back in Thailand and could validate it there .

    I hate Microsoft and anybody employed by them .

    When you bought it in Thailand did it have a proper hologram on it and a Windows Key?

    Because that's how you spot if you are being sold a wrong 'un.

    As for not being able to validate it in England, did you try calling Microsoft and explaining it to them?

    It had a hologram . A very good fake one . But no Windows key .

    And in England ........... very sweet they were . Very sweet .
    Said they could accept that it was a proper Programme purchased at a proper store in Thailand and that they could authorise it ---- for another payment of 5000 baht ! ( Well they said £90 ) .

    Utter utter utter bastards .

    I've downloaded Ubuntu just in case. Can select the OS at start up. Haven't looked at it yet.

    All I do is surf the web and watch porn anyway. I'm sure Ubuntu can do that.

    I think I'll follow your lead and keep Ubuntu on my laptop.

    I've never actually used it, so don't follow too closely. Just there in case it won't boot up sometime (there are other glitches going on from time to time).

    If it ever really crashes and seems fcked, it will be great to turn on the computer, select Ubuntu, then be free to work away as usual with all my files etc. still there.

    Unhappy

    It sounded like the right thing to say .

    I don't actually know what Ubuntu is .

    But it's a crap name that's for sure .
