Interesting. I am surprised to know that AIM 1.0 still works under Windows XP

Interesting, when Microsoft says transparency, then mean it:

I was using Safari on Mac visiting one website. Suddenly that page got redirected...

It looks pretty authentic, I'd say.

(Parallels Desktop for Mac's coherence mode was not on)

I also got the Windows 7 not genuine message on my Windows 7 (installed under Parallels Desktop for Mac).

Which seems an odd message to have on a version of Windows that isn't even officially on sale to the public yet!

I just bought a copy of Vista from Wal-Mart so I would have a spare. Installed it, and got the same message. It's really no big deal unless you want to install Microsoft Software that requires genuine windows operating systems.

I installed Windows XP on another machine, only to be confornted with this disk space anomaly . . .

Image

Disk Management says the C: drive partition has a total capacity of 26.95GB, yet Disk Properties
says the total size of the partition is only 1GB. Windows Explorer says it only has 1GB as well.

I'm sure we all know that it isn't possible to install Windows XP to a drive or partition that has
total capacity of only 1GB. This is a bog-standard vanilla install of Windows XP Pro, not one of
those (illegal) cutdown XP mini-distros that can be downloaded from unofficial sources!

It's annoying, because I can't do anything with it, if it only says it has 578MB diskspace left!

(Ignore those other partitions ... I'm dual-booting that machine with Fedora 11.)

That keyboard looks pretty decent. It looks like it would benefit someone with vision issues, the characters seem large compared to what is on standard keyboards.

The term "lipstick on a pig" springs to mind here! It looks like Windows XP, but it's still Malignant Edition!
