The reason I'm asking is because a friend on another board had his machine formatted by "a tech" (yeah, whatever) who installed Windows uE. Never heard of it. "- It started getting a little slow, so I sent it to the dumbass tech - He re-formatted the whole thing and installed Windows uE. - He told me that the fan was about to die, and I needed to buy another one. - The day after, the computer started to turn off-on-off-on, until I reset it. - Took it back, and after some tests, he told me to buy the new fan. - I bought the new fan. - He installed and gave the machine back to me. - I come to my office and when I open it, it turns on automatically (?) and with some weird reaction. Then started working just fine." No idea what to tell him. I assume uE is a bootleg of some sort possibly with an activation crack(?)	Peterj116 (6762)

529161	2007-03-01 19:19:00	Didn't think it was genuine. Thanks for that. The guy's in Mexico, so there's not a lot I can do about reporting it. I'll let him know he doesn't have a genuine OS anymore and that he'll have trouble with updates etc. :badpc:	Peterj116 (6762)
529162	2007-03-01 19:32:00	google shows this to be very illegal copy all searchs lead to crack sites	beama (111)
529163	2007-03-01 19:37:00	Yeah, I know all about unattended installs and answer files. Thanks. (MCP :) ) Just not up with all the dodgy versions of Windoze floating around. Ultimate Edition is new to me. Being a Spanish version makes sense, so he must be talking about this OS. Hope he didn't pay for the..um.... work. :illogical	Peterj116 (6762)
