It's really easy... If you bought the machine from someone like DELL (An OEM) they didn't pay Microsoft the full price for the OS so MS won't support it, the company who "Built" the machine must support it... so if you paid an OEM price for a DVD and installed it yourself then you are the manufacturer and you didn't pay the full price and you you have to support it. If you bought it from some bloke on a Chinese market stall it's probably a contractual obligation that "He" support it, but I bet you won't find him  The problem with Administrators is that they like to think that, well, that they should "Administer things", and as a result they present a security risk to the machine because if they take a coffee break and someone else sits down at their machine for a minute he can do damage - soooo, because Administrators couldn't be discouraged from trying to Administer things and logged in as Administrators all the time Microsoft decided that you could be an Administrator only if you ask them each time you want to be... To avoid a sort of social "Affront" to people who "Wanted to be Administrator" but weren't really qualified to be, MS kindly allowed the name to be shared between Administrators and, well, Administrators in rather the same way that all Australian men are called "Bruce" and all Australian women are called "Sheila" I can't tell the difference, onejust has to hope that Australians can Disclaimer, this post is provided as is, with no warranties (or Australians) implied or conferred, and in no way reflects the official policy of Microsoft or any other company known to man. No animals were harmed during the making of this post although Steve Ballmer did once bruise his leg while playing the rear end of a pantomime horse (according to rumor). We apologize for the cancellation of the scheduled comedy act, which was to be Bill Gates explaining the validity of Windows Product Activation, but the lines to India were tied up and Mr Gates plane couldn't be activated... |

ha ha ha ha he he he he i like the last part about bill gate i hope they
manage to activate the plane and in flight some pop up somes up saying you have made a hardware change and must reactivate the plane(unfortunatly it can only be done on ground), and the plane will be on reduced functonality untill then, therefore you can no longer use the rudder, the flaps, the engine controls, and the restroom, or open the doors. -- Licensed Boating Capt.
