I think what he means is it's easier to pirate than XP (no WPA, no Genuine Advantage checks). However, just because it's easier doesn't make it better. Geez, if you want something that's easy to pirate and not shit and unstable and obsolete, get Windows 2000 (yes, I know MS have retired primary support for it, but hotfixes are still being issued until 2010 - read their product lifecycle pages).

I'm >>14, and >>17 got what I meant. I could pirate XP, and then run fucked up unpatched Office and Word or if I get apps updated properly risk having the MS Party Van knock down my door.

that's right; I spent all the money I had on the computer, with nothing left over for software.

You mean you can hook me up with free, legit copies of Office XP, etc; or are you talking about shitty knock-offs that can't even handle simple word macros or excel spreadsheets? BTW, school requires I have some sort of power point program too.
Linux makes a great server; but I'm not an IT professional.

brokenoffice.blarg is a bloated piece of shitware that Sun bought off some random company and then dumped on the open sores community. I hate it when people describe it as one of open sauce's flagship products. It's a classic example of proprietary crap, and it's pretty much unfixable. The best thing to do with it would be to salvage any useful parts (its .doc format filter is pretty decent) and merge them into KWord or something.
Why shouldn't we be negative about it? Are we supposed to say that the product is great just because it's open source? If I had to pick an open source Word alternative, I would tell people to use AbiWord and not OO Writer.

Sure, but you don't need to bash OO.org into the ground.

I don't mind OOo that much, the ximian stuff is getting ported back in, and they've made great strides with 2.0. don't diss Sun either, without them a lot of open source stuff never would have gotten off the ground. love the big companies, they're the ones that can actually pay their developers to work on open source software.

Unfortunately, there's no cure for stupidity.
OP still needs help deperately, I have tried system restore but it doesnt work because of this virus and neither AVG nor Norton could find any virus for this thing. HELP. Some persyn told me it was Daltonism but decided to be a complete asshole and not explain what that is, when Google yields about much help as the goggles.
