Pentium 4 systems will be provided to run the beast.
Bring your birth certificate for registration.
Reserve a few days for installation.

no, I'm afraid you've confused Microsoft with the DMV.
registration is not a 'chore' its just another little irritating task (which
is made up for by the fact that I didn't have to install any drivers! XP
was ready to roll after installation).
birth certificate? its like a big long number that gets sent - breifly
summarizing your hardware configuration.
a few days for what?
Installation took me about 30 minutes on a formatted hard drive.
About the same as any MAC or UNIX OS I've installed to date (if not faster!)

Even Bill Gatez knows that this piece of shit is not going to make it.
He is out kissing asses to promote the damn thing.

Did you pay for this crap? Would you? Of course, not! Do not deceive
people to make a few bucks.

I hope when nobody buys this sucker, it will blow to your face.

Same here, only ... I used my old, OLD Windows 95 CD as prior-ownership
verification and was shocked to find it worked! Thought for sure I was going
to have to insert my SE full-version...

Apparently their is a bug in the install routine. It will not let you Upgrade from
within a Win95 install, but will accept the Win95 and older WinNT variants as
"Qualifying Media". But hurry, I am sure they will fix this quick. :-)
