Windows 7: really really bad situation

I agree this whole thing sounds fishy, but the last comment about "if you can afford ram and hard drive you can afford a os", it's irrelevant

I'm sorry but with an attitude like that I'm not surprised your Dad wont help you.

Just because you've just turned into a teenager it doesn't give you the right to demand your own way and expect to get whatever you want, you're still just a child and should have respect for your parents or are you just one of those spoilt brats who thinks he can have anything he wants.

Have you thought that your parents just may not be able to afford to shell out money for it at this time.

ROFL!!! OWNED xD

It's not that hard to get a crack / serial for Windows 7. I'm pretty sure if you are smart enough to be coding for private servers, you can figure that out as well.

I may only be 17, but I see something wrong with this story he is putting up.

Can afford new RAM/HDD, Dad will not help him (cannot blame him, the economy has made it tight for everyone now), works on private servers and codes (not saying its impossible).

Hmm I don't know to me it sounds odd, but its just my opinion. If you really need another Operating System just download a copy of Windows 7 RC from Microsoft and use that for now. It expires 3/1/2010 =)


Lets not go suggesting stuff like this.

Not to mention you are kind-of irresponsible since you fell and broke your OS... Believe it or not (since you code and stuff I assume the computer is yours and not the families), the OS would have been YOUR responsibility. Therefore you should pay for it... maybe work something out with your dad?

I mean I'm not really one to talk since I'm young myself (16), but I just built a new computer (finally) after 7 years. I'm not stupid though and I realize $2000 isn't cheap, especially in this recession. Sure my dad paid for it, but I found some work and during these 2 months of summer I made the money and paid him back. I'm basically just trying to say shut up and find some way to make it all work /end rant (sorry I really did rant) =(

My Number One is nine years old. He bought himself an Xbox 360 with money he earned.

And, no, I never hire family.

People, we are talking to our selves here.

The bird has long flown.

I tried to help him in MSN, but I got the feeling, all he came in here for was to obtain a free serial from a technet user.

I gave him several options but none of them suited him, and I started to dislike him because he kept calling me dude.
I was already a dude when he was still smearing his fesses to his crib.



When I came back to this thread, I saw what he had been saying about his dad.
If I had known, I would not have helped him in the first place.

I think someone should put a lock on this thread.

+1.

Well your a nice guy then! Smart too for not giving him it! Maybe you should add something to your sig along these lines "Beware if you see a 13 year old boy living with his father. It could be a 47 year old liar living with his mother"

LOL! =P I don't see what everyones hurry to get Windows 7 RTM is, I'm happy with RC for now. I understand not a lot of people feel like paying for it, but get over it. :P
