[K8MAN]

Has anyone heard if we have to buy winxp64 seperetely for the full price or if we get some kinda of discount if we already own winxp? Could it be a free upgrade? Any info please.

Last rumour I heard was that it would not be for sale generally. You would only be able to get it with a system.
Sounds like no upgrade to me.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

is this a retail / production .iso?

What about activation etc? Any work arounds?

Supposedly you should be able to take your WinXP Pro CD and key and exchange it, free of cost, for the 64 bit version. I think Home users are out of luck.

What I'm not sure of is what channels you have to go through. I can't really imagine every retail store doing these exchanges for free.

I don't have it yet. My problem is that I have a copy of WinXP Pro that I got for free from Microsoft about a week before the actual retail release. I hope they honor it for the exchange.

I'm going to wait a while for the driver support before I upgrade.

Do you never buy anything? If you're a student you can probably get the OS for $20-$60.

You're way too extreme.

Yeah, you are a little extreme there.

I've bough 30-40 games, downloaded 10ish.

I have legit copies of 95/98/XP.

That doesn't negate the fact that you're extreme.

Hey Wusy, a lot of coders hang here. It sounds like you are saying that all of thier hard work is BS. Tell them that you value thier efforts, but cant stand to support Bill and his buddies.

 

[dhlucke]

Wusy why don't you get a job?

We all want steady big incomes but they don't just give that away. You're going to be unemployed for 5 years? Who in their right mind would hire you?

Take my advice. Get some work experience.

An internship is ideal. On campus work is ok as well. Just trust me on this one.

Those coders are fucckin geeky nerdy pissheads anyway.

A pisshead perhaps... I don't exactly conform to the others. Incidentally, I suspect my (british) interpretation of 'pisshead' is different to yours....

And I'd rather be comfortably sat at a desk typing code than spend my time shoving my hand up a cow's arse in the freezing rain, ta very much :tongue:

Stuff I write doesn't generally get pirated anyhoo, so it's no concern of mine. Very specialised market, and you'd need to be an ex-employee in order to get around the inevitable support issues, and even then there's not one person that knows 100% of any one system we sell (actually, that's a lie - we have one product which is known completely by someone, but that's <i>me</i> ). Not that that's deliberate of course, just what happens when you're only a small company.
