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?


If that is all you can do, stop wasting posting space.

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.


Sheesh.

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

Then come armed next time!


And stop freaking cross-posting to all these NG!

Up yours!
