engadget.com — The company's latest diabolical plan involves giving away free copies of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate '07, Money Plus Premium, Encarta Premium or Streets and Trips -- scary, we know. All you need to do is fill out a few surveys now and then, and download a little app that lets Microsoft watch your every move for three months.

Heck, even when you pay for it you give up your privacy, so you might as well get it free.

Um, that sucks up EVEN MORE ELECTRICITY! Not only are you having your computer ON all the time, you are also having it run even harder than before!You fail.

Stop putting your CPU in without a fan and maybe Vista won't blue screen all the time. Seriously though, if you're getting blue screens, stop overclocking, and stop installing custom drivers. VERY little besides that will BSOD any modern version of Windows (XP is virtually immune to them too, barring hardware faults).

Really where is your market research to back up your clueless comments? It may be a little difficult for you but if you go www.google.com and type in WGA I think you find that WGA is very well known and very much disliked. "Your s**t is f**ked up, and you talk like a fag." The words they teach children these days.

I've never tried playing Windows games in a VM. I use Windows for mostly games any way...but I've managed to get Half-Life to run flawlessly inside off Linux, using WINE.

Or use any linux distribution......256Mb in general is more than enough to run it.....You could continue using your computer for years!

wow - you sure are fascinated with all things below Steve Jobs' belt, or readily make a sexual reference in a retort to someone who champions a very capable OS? You probably have a secret little crush on the guy, but just haven't 'come out' yet?!? :-P - go buy a mac, you know you want to............and stop your pathetic little rants so full of crass innuendo....
