Well, I will say that when I absolutely have to get another OS (most likely due to hardware), it will either be OSX or Linux. There is no way in hell I am dealing with Vista.

Yeah, I flat refuse to use Vista too. And from what I hear, Windows 7 is supposed to just be Vista...

I'll probably have to get a Mac if I ever want to play another video game again. I hear the Windows emulator works MUCH better than it did when I screwed with it back in '01.

Well, on a Mac, you can now dual boot between OSX and Windows (and/or Linux). The only problem I have with Macs, is not being able to build them myself.

Same here. And they cost too damn much because of it.

And as for my Windows problem on a Mac, I figure I'll just go with 98 or some other version that won't force me to register.

Steve Balmer has a letter coming from me where I ask him to explain the business model of "treat the customer like a thief".

I actually had a secondary person that was helping the tech and me HANG UP on me in mid-sentence because the number I read her wasn't working right. I almost screamed.

I saw a phone number on the option to register by phone. I only saw that because the tech led me to it when I finally had a new number. I didn't see any other number before. To be fair, its possible I was just so annoyed from trying to fix my other problems that by that point, I was just too irked to notice ( ... )
