Maybe next year will be better

[Cherrim]

So... the one year my "anniversary" was actually on a weekend--implying I could be at PC all day--and I pretty much missed it. ;_;

Last month I bought an upgrade to Windows and went ahead and upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I was still high on my painkillers at the time, so I attributed the fact that the product key wasn't working to the idea that I was just entering it wrong every single time. XD So I opted to activate Windows later and went on my way.

So a month later--yesterday--it expired and Windows wouldn't let me do anything but use Firefox until I activated my copy. So I tried again and... invalid product key. With a little research and link-clicking on Microsoft's site, it looks like I ended up with a product key for Windows Server 2008. How did this happen? @_@;

Long story short, I had to either put up with only being able to use Firefox until this whole thing was resolved and I got my proper key or reformat and go back to Home Premium and wait it out. So I reformatted. :( Luckily I didn't lose TOO much since I'd just done this to reinstall Windows last month but it still took the better part of a day and it'll be a week before I can get everything back to "normal."

Resultantly, instead of spending most of the day browsing and posting on PC like I wanted to, I ended up spending like 20 minutes on it instead. Oh well. At least it was only sort of my anniversary. :(

Yeah, Vista is pretty cool, alright.

What? D: Vista is awesome, I love it so hard.

It's just... Microsoft's distributors need to be more careful. <_<;

Just buy a Mac and be done with it...They are lightyears beyond PC's, and can run windows as well. ^__^

 

[Cherrim]

But I hate Macs and I couldn't deal with OSX's lack of a halfway decent WLM client. XD;

Not to mention I don't have the money for even the cheapest line of Macs. :[ Too overpriced.

 

[Aurafire]

The new ones are pretty ridiculously priced, I'll give you that =P

 

[Percy Thrillington]

Yes, it's absolutely RIDICULOUS.

I dunno, the last time I heard about macs, they couldn't run any software at all, but at least you got to talk to me ;D Audy and them and me xD
