No Can do sorry, that was close to a year ago, on linux forums I usually never visit ( cant even remember the sites, only have the word Linux in them), didn't use the same user name as here, and chances of finding those posts would be next to zero. It was for a customers Linux Server, not mine.	wainuitech (129)

I guess it's par for the course with Microsoft. They have something that works so it's important to kill it off or replace it with rubbish. The downhill slide from Win7 being another example. :groan:	B.M. (505)

BTW they make a standalone version that is Linux based, on its own works well, its not a separate program. Tried it once but the problem was actual Linux Base was so unpredictable / unstable if trying to open anything to change settings it wasn't worth it. Maybe it was still in beta ;) It still had the Linux PITA of wanting a password to change anything	wainuitech (129)

There is no way that it can be interpreted as a pacifier for MS users; words mean what they say, and in fact, there is a further error in punctuation: The correct statement would be: Windows may not be genuine, your computer could be running a counterfeit copy of Windows. Regardless, 'Windows is not genuine' is a definitive and warning statement from Microsoft that precedes the mention of counterfeit. It may not matter to the knowledgeable, but the mildly bewildered could very easily take it to mean that their counterfeit version is legit, or their legit version is counterfeit. 2/10 Microsoft, you must try harder! :rolleyes: Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

Had to install the earlier version first 10586 - Activated, then upgraded to 1607. The license key CLEARLY on the side of the case is W7 Home, after upgrading to 1607, its now changed to Pro and activated. What a bugger :p	wainuitech (129)
