i remember their shoes being semi-popular once upon a time, but didnt think theyd be as everywhere as they are now (in advertising).

they probably have a film crew and gear and it funds itself through advertising/youtube/social media/promoting tourism etc.

And what if you replace the hardware of your computer? What do you do then?

not sure, I'm assuming you'll either need to install 8.1 with the key you have first and go through it all again if it still works or call them and tell them you changed hardware

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

Looks more like older windows to me, keeping some 8 elements

Also hate 8

Make a desktop look like a tablet screen; a device that compromises view because of the lack of a mouse - real clever

Honestly windows peaked at 95

XP was a slight improvement

Everything after was an exercise in demonstrating their ability to suck cock and produce a shitty operating system

Will I be able to upgrade from the windows 8 you legally installed on my shoebox?

Windows 98 SE (second Edition)

that was the most stable and easy to use one of the lot.

if i recall correctly, no because it was old works enterprise key and enterprise editions cant upgrade but worth checking out when you get home

With what key, quote the Win7/Win8 key?

Seems a bit odd. Prob could find out if I google for three seconds.

Re: Windows

Windows 10 is to Windows 8, what Windows 7 was to Windows Vista.

I.e exactly the same, but people mysteriously like it for no reason.

That could be a coincidence or it could be that each one is a refined version of the previous one based on market feedback

Also, would I be right in guessing you ran Vista at some stage? It sounds like a Greg thing to do; run an operating system that crashes for no reason

+1 for reference

But in all seriousness, did run WinME, Windows Vista and never had any issues with any of them, they've all been solid for me, as was Win8/8.1

I suspect it's not so much the product, but the time it takes for it to be gradually accepted, as any IT person will tell you, people hate change, even if it's actually a positive change.

He probably dropped his computer off at a computer store to get Vista installed and it just sat there for 3 years until the shop closed down, then spent another 2 years at a different shop before he even got to crash it for himself

One of the older managers at work has One (Metallica) as his ringtone - thought this was cool and inter-generational until I realised I'm just f**king old myself

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
