Not Fun Anymore

Heard about that Windows thing?

so they will put up a balloon at the bottom-right corner of your screen. To remind you that you have a bootleg copy of Windows xp. To shame you, to prick your conscience, to make you buy an original Microsoft Windows XP, which costs about RM210 OR RM520 depending on how moronic you are.

I'm all for illegal stuff you see. It's actually ok to use pirated stuff. It's not against principles. For one thing, if they didn't charge the sky for something so lauya……I'll gladly shell out money to buy their stuff. Like RM100 for Windows is cool, I can handle that. RM 25 for a music CD is cool. A movie-DVD for RM30 is also cool. Cooler still, if old stuff like games are allowed to be downloaded free. Not those DOS-games that are bitches to install, however.

And alas, I read on Lowyat forums that you can choose not to install that particular patch. I dunno how true is that, but, phew!

On another note, I found something quite cool. It's something of a personal organizer with a calendar that sticks to your desktop(if you check/uncheck a few boxes) also something I read on Lowyat. It's the rainlendar. Uber cool, I say. But it's a tad depressing when after downloading and putting it in the right place that I realise, I don't have anything to include in the 'to do' list.

Back to the Windows thingie, it seems that if you don't have an ori copy of it, you won't be able to download IE7. Personally, I'm using Firefox already. Very user-friendly. One thing I like most, is that, if you type what u want in the address bar, like 'wikipedia', it will go straight to the page and not to the search-result page. Actually, it goes to the page of the top-most result by google. Very convenient. Furthermore, there are search bars on the menu bar that lets you do searches in google, wiki, amazon, ebay and lots more.

And I found alot of online-stations that play great music with winamp. I know, I used to hate winamp and all. But it's just because WMP is so much prettier that I hate winamp. Now I know that winamp has more juice than WMP, but I do prefer WMP still. Unless I have to use Linux next, then, I hope they have prettier skins.
