XP Crippled Edition
« on: 13 May 2005, 07:35 »
CNET article

XP Starter Edition won't run on P4's or Athalon Chips.  They deliberately write code to prevent it from running on these chips.  

Aside from being utterly stupid, a purposefully crippled OS is insulting.

Hey, developing countries, Linux doesn't care what hardware you run on.

use perks such as bug patches
Just as I always suspected. Microsoft putting intentional bugs and shit. bill gates can eat rusty razor blades smeared with dog shit. Better yet, a 50%/50% mix of Penguin shit and Daemon shit. Fuck throwing pies at that fucker, penguin crap balloon bombs are the shit, literally.

The meaning of my username "BobTheHob":
It is well known that "Bob" is a nickname for robert in modern times, a lesser known nickname for robert is that of "Hob". Hob is a nickname for robert from the "Middle English" dialect. This is the version of english spoken and written around the late middle ages. Thus my username can be percieved like "RobertTheRobert" which is redundant. As I always like to say "Simplicity in redundancy, and elegance in simplicity".

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.
