I feel a little over-validated

J

When I installed Microsoft Security Essentials I knew that part of the
agreement was that my copy of Windows should be checked to ensure that it
was genuine. Fair enough.

About a month ago I received a message to say that my copy of Windows may
not be genuine. I re-validated it. OK. No more messages.

Today I had a similar message on my screen, and a pop-up from the taskbar
to tell me that Security Essentials would stop working in 30 days unless I
validated Windows.

There was a link to click to go online to look for a solution. I had to
download the new validation tool ( I've not been offered it yet by Windows
Update). I downloaded and ran the validation tool. Everything was OK.
Windows passed the test.

However Security Essentials was still showing an amber warning, and
presented me with a Validate button on it's main console. So I did as asked
and validated for a second time. Pass, OK.

I have 3 more machines (two XP and one Win7) running Security Essentials.
I can see that I have a fun evening ahead. ;-)

And more evenings ahead when MS comes out with a new version of WAT.
Personally, this was one of the reasons I started using Ubuntu. I
figure, for some strange reason, that MY CASH should be enough for these
cretins.

Don't you just love MS? I've never had to 'validate' a Linux install.

First you have to activate. Then you have to become "genuine" and then
you have to validate over and over and over and over and over again. The
pathetic thing is that morons like Frank think this is "normal computing".

You enjoy spending your cash for Microsoft products. You have Vista and you
love Microsoft so much, you decided to help support the company buy
purchasing Windows 7. A quality OS that will allow you to to real work if
you had any real work to do.

On the other hand, you can tinker with that INFERIOR Ubuntu that is free and
most reject as garbage. There is no activation with Ubuntu because it's
worth exactly what you pay for it: NOTHING.

You should never have to validate a Linux install. Nobody gives a rats ass
what you do with it because it's worthless.

Microsoft is trying to protect their property from thieves who think it's OK
to rip off others. Kinda like yourself.

I don't blame them. If I worked on a software project and poured millions
or billions into development, I would do whatever I could to prevent low
life's like yourself from stealing my work.

If they think someone is stealing from them, they should do what
everyone else has to do: call the cops.

I don't steal software and you have no reason to state otherwise other
than lamely thinking it will help your "argument" by lying about me.

See above regarding your false accusation. With your "logic", Win NT and
Win 9x would have never been successful. On the contrary, they made MS
one of the richest companies in the world and their CEO became the
richest man in the world all without any stinking activation, becoming
genuine or validating.

No, I use Windows for two things: gaming and getting to know the ins and
outs so I can repair all the computers that get fucked up because
they're running Windows.

Oh I forgot. Everyone in your town uses and knows about Ubuntu. The only

Linux is free. They give it away. Most don't want it. Live with it. You
have blinders on. Ubuntu is just a TOY OS written by geeks so others have
something to do when they are socially inept.

Well I downloaded an upgrade to the MSE client yesterday. It could be that
this now checks to see if the new validation tool is installed. In my case
it wasn't because I hadn't been offered it yet by WU.
