Windows Installation Hell: I can't install Vista without booting into XP, can't boot into XP because of old drivers, can't fix the drivers without activating XP, and can't activate XP because I can't boot normally! : reddit.com
Solution: Don't use windows.

Ya' know, I've been running Ubuntu for just under two weeks now.
Like all Linux systems, it has presented challenges.
But Ubuntu is significantly more usable than previous distributions of Linux that I struggle with before abandoning them.
The other useful thing 'bout Ubuntu is that Ubuntu.com's forums are actually friendly and helpful to new users such as myself.
That's important because, as I said, NO installation of Linux seems to be completely friendly to install and get running.
But yeah -- Linux time 'tis...

Having one's OS suddenly decide that you're a criminal just because you changed some of your hardware is absurd and insulting.

The real mistake: upgrading hardware and software at the same time.

Yeah it's not like each version of windows typically requires massive hardware upgrade to just run or anything.
The real mistake is believing the capitalist "free market" will produce good software.

Ah, so we have to change to a different economical system in order to improve software quality?
There's a new one.

Exactly. In one system the goal is to make money, in another it is to make good software.
Which one is likely to make better software?
There's even a realword example that proves this to be true its called Free Software.
Ref The Internet.

That's odd, because Microsoft has been saying that they'll let the "Vista loophole" slide.
The loophole is that you can use the Upgrade version to go ahead and do a full clean install.
I think that this blogger just doesn't know what the heck he's doing.
Installing Windows really isn't rocket science, even with XP's dumbass activation crap.

True, and yet people who willingly use windows don't ever seem to be aerospace engineers.
I guess it doesn't even out after all...
