u’re not seeing the point… johnny script kiddy goes out on tuesday and gets vista upgrade (to save money) to put on his new uber gaming rig that he probably put together wrong and is on his 3rd motherboard, thinking he can cheat the system and pop in a friend’s XP disc and satisfy the installer. nope… he’ll then try to return the upgrade software at X store… and they’ll say… NOPE. So… johnny is stuck with the software he cant use… untill there’s a way around it that johnny can comprehend… ---

Johnny script kiddy wouldn’t spend any money on windows anyways making this a moot point. Besides it’s not like it’s terribly hard to get even an FCKGW key version to register as a valid version of windows. ---
