FthrJACK Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 there was no need to do that drew, modifying windows is ok, its only like you applying skins which is something your not supposed to do unless the skin is signed by microsoft.. but you make it work.i dont know the urls removed but can someone repost them. talking about warez, warez releases, etc isnt illegal. hosting the files, or serial numbers IS. so please dont post them or DIRECT links to them (a link to google showing the page would be ok for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uruguay Posted June 3, 2002 Author Share Posted June 3, 2002 Who said anything 'bout wawaam just trying to install the patch and it won't work for the life of meoh well, if everyone is so thin skinned, might as wellreformat and go for my free and trusted mandrake 8.2and pay up 70 bucks for star office, if i feel like getting the latest version and cream it winex for linux and have my cake and eat it too.sorry guysby the way have any of you seen the latest sweet talking letterfrom msoft to registered owner telling us to pay up now for future updates or have to buy full programs 'cuz there won't be upgrades, well i have and it ain't pretty at all. mostly when a whole bunch of moola is involved and you get less than 6 weeks to pay up or else, makes you think three times 'bout wawathink again DREW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
