Disabling Windows XP, for example, doesn't disable the computer, just
Windows XP. So, if you have a dual boot system with Linux on the other
side,
your computer isn't disabled, is it?

In any event, they cannot "deactivate" Windows XP if it is installed on
your system. This would be considered by the feds as a Denial of Service.

Plain and Simple.

Yep, plain and simply wrong. If the computer still works, they didn't
disable it, just their software. That doesn't disable your computer so it
wouldn't be considered anything by them.

Gregh...

Are you dain bramaged or what?

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

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.

Sheesh.

I refuse to get in a battle of the wits with an unarmed person. lol

And stop freaking cross-posting to all these NG!
