RE: [SLE] [OT] Another good windows glitch - like we needed another one.

I'm trying to laugh about this because the alternative will be to kick my computer off the roof.
I need to run XP occasionally so I have a dual-boot config. This morning I tried to boot Win XP and was told 'windows needs to be activated' - and it wouldn't log me in. I did that last year and I haven't changed anything, but what the hell - I have a legal copy, so I clicked yes. Then it said 'this copy of windows is already activated' and logged me off... rebooted - and the same thing. It won't let me log in and it won't activate. I have to reinstall from scratch AGAIN! What a design. <sigh>

As opposed to my Suse 10 server that simply stopped reading one of the drives last night for no apparent reason and wouldn't start again until this morning, still for no apparent reason? -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Yeah, as opposed to what sounds like a hardware problem in *your* machine to the *built-in* problem of M$' software that Mike's having. Your point again was?
