About there gay Vista activation antics.

I hear now that we wont even be able to build pc's and ghost them because of this new Key crap.

I think MS are going to get a lot of flak from the coorporate customers and may have to change something.

Steve -- that's because most corporate customers won't be using Ghost to deploy.

i dont care about most, we use ghost, we are a coorporate customer, we are inconvinienced

Its not difficult to get a copy.

The WAIK is suppoed to be brilliant for unattended installs and that is what most corporate customers will be using.

Should look into it steve.

I don't think he's retired yet.

IIRC he announced earlier on this year he was retiring.

You are correct with the fact he doesn't care though, retired or otherwise.

Apart from the stupid activation there are better ways than ghosting.

Just realised he has given 2 years notice I suppose, he is fairly important in the company so he needs to make sure his role is filled properly...
