Stop arguing your uninformed opinion. They cannot disable the OS- it is
Denial of Service, a felony.


Whether it is a felony depends on the laws of the country it is in. It isnt
a DOS as you well know in any case. The computer can still work. It is just
a disabling of a program. If you CHOOSE to make it your ONLY OS that's your
choice. If you have, say, a dual boot XP/Linux, your computer still works.

They cannot do it, even if you are in Australia. I am sure the aussies
have a similar law, but even if they dont, the US law will cover that
action since they are an American owned corporation.

Not really sure if that is a thing in Australia at all but it isnt a DOS so
it is really not the subject. Likely a real DOS is against the law but I
dont know for sure.



Gregh... you are right about that.. you really do not know for sure...
before you post, try researching and learning... it is DOS under the laws
of the US. And, since M$ is an American comapny, they are bound by US
law....

This is the end of this thread as far as I am concerned- you are not the
type to learn- you know what you know, I will not confuse you further with
the facts... lol
