he also informed us all . that on the final release of Vista that all 5 version will be on the same CD .and the serial no. you have to put in will tell the computer what version to load .
also if you dont sign into microsoft toregister Vista in the alloted time frame the OS will shut down .and all you be able to do is use Internet Explorer for 1 hour at a time .to give you time to activate the program . if you dont activate in that one hour .the system shuts down till the next day and then it will do this all over again .till you call or use Internet Explorer to active ! |
Sounds like a lovely activation 'feature'. I still don't understand how I can play games like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Counter-Strike 1.6 that require less of a graphics card than this damn OS. What the hell is so graphically demanding in Vista that is requiring a 128mb card? The Fancy Alt-Tabbing?
