    What the hell are you talking about?



    That's a legal disclaimer about unauthorized reproduction or distribution of the program...and that's incredibly standard for commercial software.

      Oh, the horror!
      We're talking about the legal use of CDs you already own not stealing. Try and keep up.

      In any event the anwser is simple; just don't use Microsoft's media player.

            Re-read the screenshot. You've completely misread what it says to the point of injecting completely unrelated crap into what it was saying...

                Well, I should've known to look at the evidence than rely on Oerdin's word on it... Lord knows I've had to do that enough times over the past two weeks to learn my lesson, but nooOOOOOOOOOoooo.

                  Why did they call it Longhorn?

                  Sounds a bit medieval/nautical to me, not very dynamic or futuristic.

                  I'm sure there must be a decent explanation....

                      Meditate about it...
                      Why did they call XP Whistler?

                        It's an internal codename...

                        Windows XP was known as Whistler.

                        Whistler is a beautiful ski resort in British Columbia, Canada.

                        Blackcomb is another beautiful ski resort in British Columbia, Canada.

                        Longhorn is a very popular bar that is frequented by skiiers located between Whistler and Blackcomb.

                        Blackcomb is due out after Longhorn.

                        So Whistler -> Longhorn -> Blackcomb.

                          Other codenames:

                          Windows 3.1: Janus
                          Windows 95: Chicago
                          Windows 98: Memphis
                          ----: Neptune (Never released)
                          Windows Me: Georgia

                          Daytona: Windows NT 3.5
                          Cairo: Windows NT 4.0
                          (No codename): Windows 2000
                          ----: Odyssey (Never released)

                          Whistler: Windows XP (merge of Neptune [Win9x successor] and Odyssey [Win2K successor])
                          Longhorn: Successor to Windows XP
                          Blackcomb: Successor to Windows Longhorn

                          Longhorn was initially intended to be an interim release, released in 2003-2004, while Blackcomb would be the next full release, released in 2005-2006.

                          Blackcomb is now targeted for 2010 or something.

                              One can know too much about MS...
                              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
