Jim was correct in his statement that
Microsoft was planning on releasing XP on a subscription basis... but his source
(yep... he had a real true to life source) was outdated. Happens to all of
us at times... a lot of sites don't include a date that an article is
posted. But it appears that at some point Microsoft WAS considering
selling XP on a subscription basis, but later axed the idea (dodged the suicide
attempt, is my guess).
So, why don't you all get off his
back and move on with your lives... he had a source, he was sharing valid info
he found online, and as he said, he had read it long enough ago that he could
not remember exactly where (you think YOU could remember a URL like that?) so
admit that he was at least partially right, and lets get on to a better
subject... only 3 months and 8 days to go, right? Lets see if we can go
that long without F***ING KILLING EACHOTHER... deal? Although, I HAVE bled
a lot so far tonight... so getting a little more on my shirt wouldn't matter too
much (it's red already, anyways)... *smirk*
