one will claim that MS is behind the black helicopters and the hoaxed moon
landings.
The is goal is to move people to the cloud where most
believe tech is headed.
Let's all give a hearty baa for the Windows sheeple

Don't forget that mac baaa or whatever you MFB do...apple
is headed that way too.

By the time you figure in the cost of the MB, CPU, new RAM, etc... you may be
better off looking at Dell's outlet if not their brand new desktops. But if
you want to do it yourself, I say go NewEgg.

I was able to upgrade my system for $150 after rebates. New MB, dual
core processor, 2GB memory, and power supply. Microcenter has some
good deals too, especially now.
Staying with XP was a prime motivator for upgrading rather than buying
new (Vista). All totaled, I got a better deal upgrading.
You get longer warranty on almost everything, 3 to 5 years on hard drives.
If you are comfortable building your own, it is the only way to go, you'll
save over pc's and a lot over macs.

What's your point? That IBM is getting involved with cloud computing
should come as no surprise. That they are taking an enterprise approach
with an emphasis on reliability and security should be no surprise either.
Or are you just trying to muddy the waters by adding

Where? When? All I did was post a very funny quote from the Inquirer.
They are known for acerbic reporting that is often spot on. I didn't even

Baa.

You probably can't move your XP to a new motherboard. You must buy a new
copy of Windows. Check your EULA.
Are you saying there are circumstances in which if your motherboard
goes bad, that you are not allowed to replace it and use the same
operating system? Is this something that is automatically checked or
you just have to know?

I didn't suggest that. Google wants computer mfrs to include Chrome
on their installs. I asked, since you obviously don't think MS should
be competing with Google and not updating their products to conform

start leaning on

Then there is also the matter of the class action suit against MS over

Yep. They let the marketing trolls do their thinking for them again and got

Dirty tricks are not the same as competition. Taking unfair advantage
of a monopoly position is not competition.

If the MS services were not crappy and as wonderful as you say, how do
