Why did you even look at the signs, after all, All Roads Lead to Rome :)

Thats the exact point I was making - I knew about the Encryption, the DVD Codecs and the Domain features, it was the Extras that were promised and never delivered - and I knew where to get them.

The final Ultimate Extra should be an upgrade to Win7

I ended up getting Vista Ultimate.

Never saw ANY of the benefits/Ultimate Content that was promised.

The upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate should be free.

That will teach me for buying a boxed, non-OEM version of Windows I guess.

Will you please inform me of what these natural rights are and where they are written please.

Bollocks

The "rights" you have are those given to you by Society saying "if you do x to person y then consequence z will happen".

Those "Rights" are decided at the founding of the Society, but however can modified at the consent of society/whim of the ruling class.

Human beings have no more "inalienable" rights than anything else on the planet.

Also do you know the meaning of the word inalienable?

From the Collins Dictionary

inalienable ADJ
    not able to be taken away or transferred to another â the inalienable rights of the citizen

The example refers to a citizen, not to a human being, the rights referred to being those conferred by citizenship.

I think you will find that with the aid of Messers Smith and Wesson I could quite easily take away your inalienable right to life, which in doing so would prove it to NOT be inalienable.

Seing Parliament Hung would be an even better outcome.......

Dont forget about "Windows for Warships"

My Netgear router asks you if you want to use its inbuilt MAC address or specify one............

10.10.10.10 Assigned to 01:23:45:67:89:01 20090220135000

Going to be when the 1st bit is a setting made by me and the MAC address is easily Spoofable.

What next - everyone must register the MAC addresses of all their network kit and sanctions if you change it ?

More idiocy from people that dont understand how stuff works.

Not the point. Just assume all your datorz are belong to them. Then leave, without prey to feed on they will die. Instead they issue a half-arsed apology saying "our bad" and "we didnt mean it that way" and the sheeple just say - "ok then, thats cool". You dont get anything for nothing - they have to have a way of making cash off of everything - bandwidth is not cheap........

"Oh look, Facebook is planning to screw us over by changing the TOS - lets start a Facebook Group to protest" Much better plan - delete your account and leave and never go back.............
