I get around 50 Mbps with no limits for $40 a month. That also includes the Comcast router. Guess I can't complain.

I use Netflix a lot in my house. I have never seen Comcast throttle my speed.

We can hardly afford Comcast as it is. :(

[quote who="starkers" reply="17" id="3467064"]A wireless adapter these days is relatively cheap... like under 10 bucks for one of those USB types, and that would allow you to run Win 8 with internet connectivity. Alternatively, there's the idea of running a LAN extension lead from the modem to your PC. Again, this would cost you under 10 bucks (I recently purchased a 25 metre LAN for $8.95) and you could tuck it away against the wall, etc, to save anyone tripping on it.[/quote] So

So if they reinstate the cap I will have a hard time watching Netflix as we watch a lot of Netflix in my household.

Starkers didn't send me a disk. He bought Windows 8 for me and I received a email from Microsoft with instructions to download and burn the Windows image. The key was included in the email. It is not a OEM key. Thanks everyone for the support. I now remember why I haven't upgraded from Windows 7. Windows 8 does not work with my wireless USB network adapter. And my computer sits too far away to run a LAN cable. Back to the drawing board. :)

Actually I didn't know it wouldn't activate until recently. Nevermind I said anything. :)

Every time I put that key in it says it was already activated on another machine. I have never used the key on any other machine, nor have I successfully activated it on any machine. Microsoft says I need a new copy.

It will not activate, nor can I get a copy of it anymore. I've gone rounds with Microsoft to no avail.

I really have an itch to run Windows 8. I mean it's like a sickness. Even after all of the bad things I have said, I want to switch from 7 to 8 really bad. Found out my system will run 8 just fine. Problem is getting a copy. Might take a very, very long time to afford Windows 8. No income right now.

I have Windows 7. My point is that even after rebooting 5 times it's still taking upwards of five minutes to boot when it used to take one minute at the most.

Booting up after the updates took 4 minutes and every time after that is taking 4 or 5 minutes. Used to take 40 seconds.

I installed the updates today. Made my computer slow to a crawl. Any ideas on this?

Good luck getting my step daughter off of her laptop and phone. The phone isn't hooked up, but it is a great ereader and MP3 player. She goes nuts without her technology. It's like a security blanket. Oh, and the phone is a Nokia Lumia. [e digicons]:-"[/e]

[quote who="starkers" reply="14" id="3464625"]Once activated and your copy of Windows is authenticated, you are then entitled to all the downloads and updates available for your particular version. A pirate copy does not qualify for these benefits and misses out on various security patches and etc. Like I said, it makes no sense to go with a pirated version... one would be left vulnerable without those security updates.[/quote] I've seen computers using a key that belongs to anoth

Yeah that's what I thought. It's obvious these computers came with Vista. They are running Core 2 Duo CPUs. Old stuff. Where in the EULA does it say that so I can tell him?

No, these are Dell computers he bought after a few companies upgraded. They have 2 year old hardware. He says he uses the same disc to install Windows 7 on them, then sells them on Craigslist. I'm just curious what the EULA says so I can tell him.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you sell a computer with Windows installed you must include the Windows CD/DVD and the PC must have a legit COA sticker right? Where is that in the EULA? Trying to prove a point to a guy selling several computers on Craigslist using the same DVD and key for all of them.

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="21" id="3462925"]Which has its own vulnerabilities. Other browsers are NOT "immune" to exploits. I wasn't aware IE could be removed from the OS, just disabled. WU depends on it, for one thing.[/quote] I'm confused. Windows Update is in the control panel. How does it rely on IE?

No, not that easy. I like to have the Add-on bar on the bottom. On that bar I have Forecast Fox running telling me the weather temp outside. The new Firefox gets rid of that bar. No thanks.
