Title: RE: RE my XP Windows got broke in a Hailstorm

You were the breaking point, not the focal point, most of the thread had to do with MS/DOJ/FTC and your four little words no matter where they were pointed were misplaced for anyone on this list. I just made the choice to attach to your post, sorry if I confused your pet peeve with mine!

RE: RE my XP Windows got broke in a HailstormHoward,

No offence, but you didn't get it after all - that post was about the
troubles with MSN Messenger/Passport- not the MS/DOJ action.

Of course, your confusion is totally understandable, considering our
penchance for drifting off topic in this thread. :)

Well I got to jump in here despite my better judgment, Of course we get it!
and of course it might not hurt MS "directly" but that is NOT the point, the
point is, the remedy is supposed to help ME! and YOU and ANYONE else either
wittingly or unwittingly affected by MS predatory practices. And before any
MS apologist jumps on my case let me emphatically state that "I HAD NO
CHOICE BUT TO BY MS WINDOWS WHEN I PURCHASED HARDWARE" That my friends is a
provable established fact and since it directly affected me, I was harmed!
And guess what boys and girls so were you! The facts speak for themselves,
of course if you wanted to buy inferior software and bad support, I guess
the degree you were harmed was considerably less than the degree that I was.
