Yeah, I run the 7600 version on my Mac and it's been marked as Non-geniune for some reason. Funny, because it hasn't shut down completely. Can someone explain to me what happens if you continue to ignore it? Doesn't it refuse to boot after a while or something? I don't plan on buying Windows 7 and I already have installed a couple games I play on Steam, so I'm pretty much don't need to do anything else with it.

In one of your previous aliases you claimed you were going to torrent it. Then you said that you had no reason to torrent because you had all you needed with Mac and OSX since you could run Steam with crossover.

You also said you never pirate software. So here you have said you have a pirated copy of Win7, upset because it is not genuine, and using Steam on Windows. Lies all around.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/windows-7-launch-day-what-you-need-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/windows-7-launch-day-what-you-need-to-know/

In the background of the Microsoft Retail Store opening, amid all of the clapping, I distinctly heard bleating. I'm sure it was the sound from ALL those Ballmer-following, Microsoft Sheeples. Baaa-baaa. Such a pathetic, glassy-eyed herd. Once they were laughing at the Apple-cult faithful, now they have become a collective clone of the thing they both envied and hated the most. What will Microsoft copy next from Apple? Maybe the rumor is true that Microsoft is coming out with a MiPhone. When was the last time Microsoft did something original? Zune? Nope. Zune Marketplace? Nope. Microsoft Retail Stores? Nope. The Burger King 7-pattie Whopper is the only innovative thing Microsoft has done for the past nine years since Windows XP.

So what you are saying is that you used Linux, but you had an epiphany last night you should switch from Windows to Linux? If you already used it, why would you decide to throw out Windows and switch to Linux?

I suppose it's possible to have installed Linux on his computers in an hour and 20 minutes, assuming he already had a Linux install disc.

Of course, having Linux for less than two hours doesn't make you a Linux user.
