This is becoming insane.-f0dder (October 31, 2008, 03:19 AM)
I think they should have us set our clocks for a half-hour back and LEAVE IT THERE!-Edvard (October 27, 2008, 11:10 AM)
I liked the 'Security-on-a-Stick' to Protect Consumers and Banks. But what banks support it?
At least they did IF they read the Windows EULA, the same EULA that was far more restrictive for Vista than XP ever dreamed of. In the original, you couldn't even change a significant piece of hardware without having to buy another copy of the OS, much less use it on a second computer within the same house.-zridling (October 30, 2008, 03:14 AM)
That's a pretty contrived example, imho. And again, focus is shifted from the important "this is a bastard thing to do" to a useless argument of whether it can be called malware or not.
Another fine reason for not classifying this lockout mechanism as malware, is that it waters out the definition of that word....-f0dder (October 29, 2008, 08:10 AM)
Thing is the claim is probably false and that people installed the WGA program themselves-Eóin (October 29, 2008, 09:25 AM)

Let us take the easy one first. "Malware" is short for malicious software and is typically used as a catch-all term to refer to any software designed to cause damage to a single computer, server, or computer network, whether it's a virus, spyware, et al.
sorry about that I did not write the news report, and this is not meant to be a plug for KS.
And your link seems to be more of a plug for Kingsoft than anything else.-nosh (October 29, 2008, 02:47 AM)
Great job From personal experience I can recommend the new ubuntu version 8.10 (codename intrepid ibex). It works very well on my new thinkpad. But first ask your friends who use linux which distribution they use and choose the same. They will be the ones helping you, and it is easier to help on familiar ground.
As for instant messaging with MSN, there is a multiprotocol (multiplatform too!) instant messaging client "pidgin". It lets me chat with my one friend in Thailand that is still using MSN. However, I doubt things like videochat will work.-housetier (October 22, 2008, 03:57 AM)
what are the specs on your notebook?-Darwin (October 22, 2008, 08:33 AM)
... we are currently working on this version...
Working...? Working on what? So it's not going to be the same version, right? Limited features? Ads? Oh-oh...-yksyks (October 17, 2008, 03:26 PM)
I personal think it would be very hard to make a Office suite not look busy, unless you cut out all the extra toolbars and side panels etc,etc. It really depends on what you are using the suite for to how busy it is going to look. As for mascots the only time I look at them as part of the program is when they are built in like the MS paper clip.-Davidtheo (September 28, 2008, 08:23 PM)
Microsoft did a fantastic job of exactly this with the new interface for the office 2007 suite.
Kingsoft *looks* like such a complete rip-off of MS office 2003, I'm actually quite amazed they haven't been sued for completely copying the product.-kveldulv (October 19, 2008, 07:50 AM)
