The rules clearly state that anything even remotely related to piracy is prohibited. THE CONVERSATION IS NOT ABOUT PIRACY, THEY ARE ALL LEGAL VERSIONS OF LONGHORN. FROM MINE AND JIFFYMAN's POINT OF VIEW WE HAVE NOT BROKE ANY RULES, AND SAYING WE ARE STUPID FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO READ IS A BIT HARSH, I READ THE RULES FULLY AND UNDERSTAND THEM. I think you got it wrong this time Praetor.

I'm not sure that I'm looking forward to that release date, purely because XP was supposed to be this great and awesome thing, and they're still having all sorts of hacking issues with it. Granted XP was better than ME, but I'll wait and see if Longhorn is just another in a long line of Microsoft screw ups.
Since this thread has just entered 'soon to be deleted' land I might as well get a post in here, maybe someone will see it.
Since I would actually like to comment on Longhorn....YES or NO: I agree with dciscouts, in theory. I certainly wont get it when it comes out, I'll wait for a service pack at the very least but I don't think that XP was another entry in the screw ups list. It has it's problems but at least it is a step in the right direction (aside from the stupid default flashy interface)
So then this statement says you aren't violating the rules?Jiffyman said:
Sure you didn't outright say "I have an illegal version of Longhorn" but you might as well have. This whole rule violation crap was done with after posts 31 and 32 until you decided to pick a fight with an admin. If you just left it alone things probably would have been fine, now flame1117 is in on this crap and the original topic is buried in this BS...at least dciscouts still knows what it is. (yes I know I'm adding to the crap, but come one people do you really need to argue about something was was going to be allowed to slide off the table?)Jiffyman said:

Thanks Cromewell, and I might have been a little harsh on XP... But I'm just remembering all the horror stories of hijacks and how vulnerable the OS was after Microsoft made this humungous big-to-do about the fact that XP was supposed to be impenatrable and such. I love the fact that it is very stable compared with previous Microsoft OSs. And I'm also a little peeved about SP2, it disable one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm on withdrawl after playing it for 5 years straight. (yes, it's a Windows98 game, and yes most of you have probably not heard of it..., it's Star Trek: Birth of the Federation)
I have actually heard of that game 
Have you tried the Windows Application Compatibility toolkit? (not the compatibility wizard thing that comes with windows) You can find it here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows/appcompatibility/default.mspx they have a lot of 'patches' that can allow some older games to run, I use it to get FF7 PC (windows 95 game) to run.

, I think think an ADMI, should be able to follow a simple rule lik that, it seemed harsah to me.i never even heard of the new OS untill this thread if you can belive it.... I'm waiting a while, because im not going to want to pay for it and hopffully they will sort out of issues, but if i had the money i might get it when it comes out, but im sure I wont.
