Microsoft Isn't So Smart Anymore | |

We're referring, of course, to the Smart Tags feature that was to be included in Windows XP. The most "helpful" MS trick since the talking paper clip was supposed to "link any word on a Web page to another site chosen by the company," as News.com put it - so the word "Webzine" might magically link to, say, Slate.msn.com, even if you're browsing Salon. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this would cause loud complaints about monopolization and evil, and it did. So Microsoft has decided to pull the Smart Tags from the final version of XP and Internet Explorer 6. You are wise, grasshopper. | ||

| I'm not that worried about product activation. I get my software for dirt cheap through Select Service agreements through the University of Texas, and such agreements don't require activation. I'm telling you....find a campus that has such agreements and talk to the students. Especially at liberal campuses, they hate MS as much as you! P.S: I already have plans to burn copies of my Windows XP Select Non-Activation-Aquired Disc as soon as it arrives at the Campus Computer store!!! |
