Thumbs down Windows Vista Validation Issues are affecting users - Aug07


Heads up! Just read this on another forum:

http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/...1004&SiteID=25

A lot of unhappy people. Be mindful with Windows Update at the moment - could cause a bit of anguish.

Apparently affecting XP also I have read. But I wouldn't know - I don't use WU or allow WGA into my PCs.

"Hand me another marshmallow there - thanks! Just gonna roast it above the flames!"

Apparently rectified:

http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/...5180&SiteID=25

Now I wonder how many affected users just go back to being the MS fanbois they were prior to this, rather than seeing the bigger picture of just what real crippling effect an unnecessary intrusion like WGA can cause to the broader PC community - and instead petition for change.

Ahh... I am but a dreamer...

Well, to use your own quip underneath your Avatar currently:

To do so is to do more than just deal with events and circumstances as they come to our attention, but to cognitively examine and, if the resulting evaluation requires it, to challenge these scenarios re their validity, basis for truth, and right to be imposed upon us. That IMO is "grabbing life by the balls" - not just accepting or "dealing" with things thrust upon us, without any feeling of "choice", "control over" or "right of reply", as the situation may be.

But I'll leave that pondering with you...
