wonder why people use less than legal services...

Where is the Saudi and other muslim duty to take in their islamic brethren?

I beta tested that thing and reported bugs to Microsoft. It was before my UNIX & Linux days... It's one of the experiences that led me down the road of software QA and IT as a career. (software QA, UNIX OS Operations and Administration for awhile) I guess I can thank Bill Gates and Co for that, even though I have had many harsh things to say about them over the years.

it always happens on /. For some reason I always get voted down no matter what I say or how I say it. I have no idea.

Yeah but they can create an artificial scarcity as with diamonds the way DeBeers did, right? I guess it all depends on how many industrial concerns are actually mining the stuff out there. If it's one, they have a monopoly. Think of Mel Brooks' fictional "History of the World, Part 2", instead of Jews in Space, think DeBeers in Space...

I tried the network upgrade and it failed.

I'll try from iso/dvd later on...

I have two of my four mobile machines set to receive the upgrade, but who knows when they'll actually send the upgrade bits? I want to see if it runs on the tiny emachines e250 netbook... Windows 7 Starter was awful. If it's still slow as that I'll install some version of Linux.

I'm curious how it'll upgrade my HP HDX18 1200T notebook as well.

My other machines run Linux and OSX...

Hopefully Windows 10 stunt be as buggy as some say. I'm not holding my breath.
