Microsoft - the humble software company & WINDOWS XP
A few good words about Microsoft & Windows XP; utilizing the now a generation forgotten styling of the ESSO (EXXON) Oil company - humble - .
An 'ingenuine' notification sticker like "Genuine Bell" and all that it connoted in telephone de-regulation days has been removed lawfully from the computer screen display. Its software program ws akin to a time/temperature sticker from the weather station which displayed (on a fetch/renewal command) from Windows (one may have to enter a computer log or registry etc to remove it via the COMMAND window). Like the update programs, when you internet connected it was fetched & displayed. However, it would not stop and might defame the user; or mentally dame one. The software program used to remove was created by it author (not me) to remove the further than two or three wgatray.dll & .exe files ect which created the display.
An additional Windows tip: this blogger picked up and installed the Windows IE-8 browser lawfully, and all my WIndows software is non-counterfeit & genuine. Howver a few tips in operation. Discovered this morning, that when The IE-8's add-on program baggage (ie Comcast, MSN GOOGLE, YAHOO toolbars) are disabled (a right click when starting the browser lists that option in the 'start' menu etc), that disablement may also shut down the Adobe Flash & Shockwave Player. To prove this, the same functions will work on another browser in the same open system (ie OPERA or The World Browser etc). Simply close the IE-8 and when restarting it -enable the add-on programs which accompany the browser. Note well, that 'disabling' ad hoc an add-on of the browser (ie disabling the COMCAST or YAHOO or GOOGLE toolbar individually under the VIEW menu option) will not interfere with Adobe programs.
Allof Microsoft/Windows processes verified the genuineness of my WINDOWS XP program - but the 'key number' was at issue; it was a Volume Licensed Dealer edition akin to DELL selling/distributing leftover 'Original Equipment Manufacturer' (OEM)edition - not counterfeit. See the note in a prior blog post here about the DELL sold 'branded' editions for about $75. Microsoft has to do better or let the authenticity matter go. My package from a lawful second seller came with a genuine CD and a genuine COA (Certificate of Authenticity); one assumed Microsoft can keep track of the numbers. Further, the re-keying process first appeared limited only to entitiies Microsoft would recognize as dealers (ie the individual buyer could not become one to re-key properly); and then Microsoft referenced a process of 'key' insertion as if 'new installation' somehow missed one - but did nothing to ratify the sold COA key, nor issue from Microsoft HQ, a new one. (Its 'fun' to use their little tool and be told the numbers are the 'same'!)
Windows XP is working fine & properly on my six year old Dell computer; and did so even with that misnoming display in its lower right corner with its task/tool bar star.
WindowsXP's proprietor Microsoft, still have to distinguish discounted enuine issues of its software from pirated ones; with an enablement or stay of dis-ownership less damning than that "Windows Genuine Advantage" notification process. The software may be genuine but have a key number foul-up somewhere in the handling. Microsoft still places a preferred manufacturer's suggested retail price (recollect that jargon for all so-called 'fair traded goods') on thw WINDOWS XP package of $249. On that basis they would state they have already accomodted the mis-served retail customer (dealer served or otherwise) by a $100 discount to $149 to grant a "genuine Windows" seal.
That price as noted above in this blog, is however the simple price for a
COMPUSA WINDOWS XP package -$149. Sticking to its rigor, Microsoft Windows XP is dealt on the internet by Amazon which asks $249 for the WIndows XP PRO SP3 package.
So, go on, compute, enjoy, surf and thank the .."humble" .. software company.
