You're a known and admitted liar, cheat and a thief. You've proly never
had a legal copy of any MS software and you are forced, because you're
broke, to use that POS good-for-nothing os, up-yr-butt-too.
Of course knowing and directing someone to a URL where they can get
pirated software is an implicit indictment of your guilt and thievery.
You are a thief...plain and simple.
Oops!

Knowing about something and using it are two different things. You, for
example, sort of know about Ubuntu and with your "logic", you're an
"admitted Ubuntu" user.

Obviously I'm not sure how it works. From Microsoft Word (in XP) you
could just go File>Send To>Fax Recipient. But it's just as easy to use
the software that came with my $15 dollar modem though. It just gets to
me me that I can't do it from my "new notebook." I mean you could send
faxes with older versions of windows.

You're assuming, incorrectly, that Microsoft gives a shit about their
paying customers. WPA and WGA prove that they don't.

Man, there may well be some truth (a lot) to that. But you can hardly fault
me for thinking I would surely be able to send faxes if needed. It's like
Windows not being able to play cd's or Windows coming without Internet
Explorer or Windows Media Player or something --all the previous versions
had it.


I'm not trying to fault you or anyone else. I can well understand why
you might make such an assumption. But please don't fault Microsoft
for your not checking to see whether your assumption was correct.

By buying Vista and HP it seems. It's a known problem on the HP site for my
model.

WHAT i"known problem"? That your version of Vista has no faxing
capability? Everyone with the same version on ANY computer has that
"known problem", you idiot.

I bought an HP notebook that came preinstalled with a trial version of
Office 2007. Well, I never been to activate it --never used it at all-
and now it's expired.


How do figure you "got hosed," when you're the one that deliberately
neglected to activate the trial software?

What I really want to do is send and receive Faxes
and it seems I read somewhere this was possible with Office 2007. WTF?


No, faxing is not a feature of Office.

Because in previous versions of Windows being able to send and receive
faxes was pretty much a given.


No, it was never "a given." Some editions of some versions of Windows
included the fax capability, and some did not. One chooses the
operating system one purchases based upon its feature set, after all.

But wehat has this to do with your failure to activate Odffice?
Now I am supposed to upgrade for the
capability.


As has always been the case, if one suddenly decides one wants or needs
a feature that wasn't included in the original purchase.

It would be cheaper just to buy a fax machine.


It would be even cheaper were you to learn to do a modicum of research
and purchase the correct product the first time.

Trial version - usually 30 days .

Yeah, that is right. But it isn't a trial anymore. Alias got me thinking,
and I was able to find a cd key. And I don't care what anyone calls me. I've
been called and probably are worse things. I'll probably delete it anyway. I
think Office 2007 kind of sucks now that I've got to check it out.

No, activating Office 2007 on my HP G60-120US you no having reading

Have you been reading this thread. I'm only going to say it one more time: I
tried to activate it. Wouldn't work so I went to the HP page for my model
(HP G60-120US) and found out it's a known problem for my model.
No, faxing is not a feature of Office.
I can fax from Office XP on my XP machine. For instance, from word:
File>Send To>Fax recipient. As a matter of fact I could send faxes on every
version of Windows I ever had starting with Windows 98 and so on.

Dude, I'm not going to reiterate all that has been said. What I AM going
to say is that there is PLENTY of FREE faxing software out there for
heavens sake! GOOGLE IT, download it, install it, and GET OVER IT. ..My
GOD, where the hell has common sense gone these days??

G'day!

Because fax capability was a feature or the OPERATING SYSTEM, moron.

The bozo is under the impression that OFFICE was doing the faxing,
when in fact all it was doing was passing the document off to the
built in fax software of the OS.

Alias

What does WPA and WGP have to do with his statement you RETARD?

A side note. You can't even give Ubuntu away even though there is no activation.

Ubuntu is a free product that most people reject as trash.
 
DanS said:
No, as anyone that can read, that's a dig on you.


You don't know anyone I associate with. And, I don't 'associate' with
Alias either.

You are associated with the nym-shifter wannabee, so what does that say.

The same thing it says about you who associates with Alias. Stop lying and come clean. We all
know the truth.
 
Anthony Williams said:
I have Office XP so I just use that. It smokes Office 2007 in my
opinion.

So, that means we won't be seeing your idiotic rants on this topic
again, right?
