Who told you that? Microsoft would never know that you downloaded win-98 from a torrent. This usenet group is hosted by them. No, this usenet group is NOT HOSTED by Micro$oft. This usenet group is *carried* by microsoft's usenet server, and it is also carried by hundreds or thousands of other usenet servers around the world - none of which have any specific ability to censor or control this group or impose rules which other servers must follow. For example, I do not read or post messages to this newsgroup by accessing the microsoft server - and neither do you. |

Nobody said anything about whether they can censor it, but their lawyers often threaten people in these group, so why tell the person to do somethings that can get them into trouble, because it is illegal? -- http://english-158465906205.spampoison.com http://u-lite.org |

Microsoft has never made any such update package that can take you from 98 to 98se and made it freely available to anyone who has 98 first edition. Second edition is a SEPARATE PRODUCT. It is not a free update, it never was. If you follow the service pack upgrade path you get the same identical upgrades offered with se. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98 Linux is too much of a hassle for most people to actually setup and use on a day to day basis. Things have changed alot since 1998 If people get into the habit of using it rather than windows, it will do much more damage to the windows brand then helping people to swipe windows, thus encouraging the windows habit. I encourage the continued use of Windows 98, and if not that then use XP - and pirate it if you can. Starving Microsoft of revenue is just as good as having people move away from Windows and switch to Linux. If the microsoft os is so much better than others, why do you want to starve them of revenue? If microsoft goes under people will be left with what you claim is an os that is TOO HARD to setup and use! Maybe your just lazy and making excuses for it. -- http://english-158465906205.spampoison.com http://u-lite.org |

No you can't. Who told you that? Microsoft would never know that you downloaded win-98 from a torrent. Microsoft does not need to know as EVERY prosecutor, solicitor, or other [bound by local and International Law, treaty, sanction, or the like] across the planet is bound to take action for pirated software and or illegal materials should you be caught with it or offering it upon the Internet... So YES, you can and will be prosecuted if you are determined to have or have partaken in the illegal distribution of these types of materials. This usenet group is hosted by them. No, this usenet group is NOT HOSTED by Micro$oft. This usenet group is *carried* by microsoft's usenet server, and it is also carried by hundreds or thousands of other usenet servers around the world - none of which have any specific ability to censor or control this group or impose rules which other servers must follow. For example, I do not read or post messages to this newsgroup by accessing the microsoft server - and neither do you. Your example fails, as usual to comprehend that EVERY USENET forum/newsgroup carried, has a physical MASTER host. That you FAIL to understand that there MUST be a master to collect, offer, and disseminate the postings isn't unusual for you though, as you rarely understand much of anything anyone takes the time to provide so you CAN understand. You and I have discussed this previously to great extent, and I even provided an example to show you what happens when that master host goes down. For instance, this supposed discussion you are supposedly having with No Alternative *just popped into* the master server... apparently albasani.net was NOT part of, authorized as, or sending its postings to the master host. Hence, any other messages MAY have been transferred to local or other mirror sources, they were NOT, however, part of the master distribution. -- ~ -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The *REAL WORLD* of Law, Justice, and Government _______ |
