My Vista is no longer valid after repairing my computer?

Thank you!!!! I installed a second hard drive on this computer. A second hard
drive. Not a new motherboard, or anything. So it makes me reactivate windows.
No big deal. Then hey, can't activate it, already in use. Darn. So I call
customer support. They want to charge me $60 just to talk to me! I told them
where to take their customer service, and searched here. You say to call them
at the number for activate by phone, and it worked! Thank you so much!

If they believe everyone, what's the point, besides inconveniencing
paying customers with a flawed "anti piracy" program?

You'd have to give me more specific particulars regarding your hardware
and I might have some.

Do you think I'm that good that I should be paid? Thanks, but the Ubuntu
folks don't pay me anything. I do it out of my compassion for Vista
users who are unaware that there is something better.

Hahahah...you are one sick POS lying linux troll. You're trolling is in
essence spam and advertising. Not allowed in this ng. Of course you
ignore that rule and keep doing it. You are a pathological liar. One

Something better ? I have tried your Ubuntu Linux and some others. I would
go back to Win98 first because in my opinion that's the level that Ubuntu is
at right now.

Oh, so you're saying most people are honest and WPA and WGA are not
necessary or are you just revealing, once again, that you know no
answers and can only insult, lie, use profanity and bluster?

Snip garbage.
