Comment Obvious financial reasons... (Score 2, Insightful) 931

Many of the systems running XP are worth less than the upgrade to Windows 7. There are many people running systems that were donated to them by their more tech-savvy neighbors and friends - I donated 2 of my old desktops and one of my old laptops that all had XP Pro on them. I am the local "computer guy" and most of the folks who ask me to tend to their old systems are running P4 boxes with XP Pro. There are also tons of off-lease HP/Dell/Emachines/Gateway systems being sold on ebay in the hundred bucks range that come pre-loaded with XP. The only way these people will be upgrading to Windows 7 would be if it will come installed on their next system. This is not a reflection on Microsoft - just the economic reality of the times.

So basically what they're saying is that you should avoid any chick with an iPhone cause she's not only pretentious, she's a whore too. Sounds like sound advice to me.

Oh, God, Lionel.
You have been hurt.
You have been hurt by somebody, that much is clear.
Who hurt you?
Who hurt you? Who hurt you?

Comment what software?! (Score 2, Insightful) 115

So far, and for a while now, all this has been but site that collects peoples emails. There is NO SOFTWARE, just a promise that it's "Coming Soon"... Pardon the skepticism, but this could just be a misguided stunt by a butthurt developer to try and leverage public interest or a more nefarious scam, or just attention whoring.
