@TechAnvil i love opera it is amazing
Great video, if I may suggest, I would suggest dual booting to make the transition easier. For anyone who isn’t aware, it means that you choose between Ubuntu (or whichever distribution) and microsoft at the start up right after BIOS. That way if you need to use microsoft for any reason (games or whatever) then you just restart into microsoft. Eventually you’ll see that you hardly ever (if at all) go into it.
Ubuntu saved my old family computer ^_^ Now I have my own computer
Windows XP Activation ByPass (might work on Vista)
On YouTube Search, Search for starkist1480 and click on the first video.
New Value: FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD
Way to go Brian!
I tried Ubuntu – it’s cool, but I ended up going with PCLinuxOS – way easier transition for Windows people.
Easiest way to make the change = 2 Hard Drives.
Leave the cover off the ‘puter & switch the cable back & forth as needed. I did that & eventually I stopped using the XP hard drive completely!
good job
i presume u mean unix ,why the hell sco are worse the microsoft, any how linux dont use unix legal battles have proven that, anyhow just dnt use the ms os . open source is the future use use use , never say UNIX its f”*&ing evil, ubuntu is sweet but mandriva all the way , mandriva is a much simpler interface for beginners or even pclinux os kde all the way wait a minute what did u say at the end there
it can be pronounced either way, accents of the world…
wuz up fat american XD
IT IS LINUX NOT LUNIX !
To User LinuxTron:
If your not able to activate windows, than why not cheat sometimes? LOL. Well hey doing this won’t cause spyware or viruses, well maybe some viruses, but not spyware.
DJOE2 QUOTE:
I found out actually that you can use WindowsVista on multiple computers by hooking the hardDrives up to the original BIOS…
thats cheatin man !!
i dont know if this is an old video, or microsoft has since changed its policy. i’ve been able to reinstall vista more than 5 times already. i constanstly change hardware and when its needed i reinstall windows. i go online and if it doesnt activate, all i do is call then number on the screen, add all the codes and then they give me a code to enter on my system, and thats all. windows is then activated. you just have to tell microsoft that its only installed in one computer.
if people can install vista they can also try ubuntu it is really good and free and no viruses or spyware on linux systems
f*ck slow vista that eats all your memory
1 – I never have to dick with drivers. With me, Ubuntu recognizes EVERYTHING I’ve got, even my phone without installing ANYTHING…
2 – There are alot of camera’s in the Hardware Database of Ubuntu, so you can just relax and plug in that camera. It will work.
3 – Games? Install VirtualBox and run Windows XP / Vista in a virtual machine!
You’re very true about that Internet Explorer-thing. Indeed, it’s very important to keep everything compatible, because else nobody can work anymore. But you can also install IE on Linux; first install Wine, then search on Google for IEs4Linux (yes, the s belongs there). Then, you can still run all the internet-things you might be not able to run on Ubuntu in Firefox or a different browser if so.
Weird.
Great video you made. I use Ubuntu by my own, already for years. I’m using it right now. It’s like heaven. It even saved me working all night; I was working on my Windows 98 laptop for a project for school. It was almost finished, and then… indeed. Blue Screen of Death. So then, I popped in my copy of Ubuntu and copied my file I was working on to my flash thumb drive. Ubuntu is the best!
BTW: I’m not saying Windows or Apple is bad, it’s just that I like Ubuntu more.
Yeh ubuntu is very windows friendly. My external hardrives (NTFS file system) were unreadable by Mandriva linux, with ubuntu – they all read straight away, also mp3, and mpeg2 worked immediately with no issues. The next test was to use WINE to run windows apps, took about 5 minutes worked perfect! GO Ubuntu!!!
Guinness rocks!
I found out actually that you can use WindowsVista on multiple computers by hooking the hardDrives up to the original BIOS that activated it in the first place, so, in english hook the hardDrive up to the orginal computer that activated Windows to activate and than put the hardDrive back in the newter computer.
Say if Windows Vista is giving you a hard time, why didn’t you just use Windows 2000?
I still use Windows XP.
Windows Vista still has problems, also requires certain hardware, just like XP, yes the silly “NO MULTIPLE MACHINE”, and more system hungry than EVER!
The problem is theres going to have to be a bigger push towards OpenSource, because so, many things are still ONLY compatible with InternetExplorer, like Online Anti-Viruses.
However, I’ll admit Ubuntu is a great attempt against Microsoft.
good job
hahahah 40 year old
