Windows XP fixes flaws for free if you turn PCs into CASH REGISTERS

Re: Is it not ethically and maybe legally questionable to provide this reg hack?

It's not too hard to fix once you know what the problem is.

Re: Is it not ethically and maybe legally questionable to provide this reg hack?

Ethically they are just fixing their broken software that you paid for. Plus a registry hack is hardly cracking. Presumably windows pulls it's own updates down whether you like it or not.

Pulled software support? If you mean new software doesn't support old hardware, everyone does that. You think NVidia is actively writing drivers for 4 year old cards?

Microsoft: The MORE Surfaces it sells, the MORE money it loses

Bull****

Yeah but I've heard a lot of savvy people argue they they want a surface RT and that surface pro is sh**. Why? Because touch is rubbish on normal windows, RT is lighter and thinner and cheaper with better battery life. In short, RT is a decent tablet, and pro is a Frankenstein monster. Thus MS has succeeded in confusing the market place yet again, and no wonder most people say bugger it, I'll get an ipad at least Apple knows what the f*** they are doing.
