Title: Open the box
Post by: Gary on Oct 31, 2007, 13:15:11
Just noticed this: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/2e680b8d-211e-41c5-a0bf-9ccc6d7e62a21033.mspx/

Now what worries me is that if you need help in opening the Vista retail box should you really be installing it  ;)

OTOH, if M$ put out software in packaging that needs an explanation, what does it say about the company? :(

The worrying thing is, there are people out there who will need those instructions, and then get let loose on the Internet!  ;D

That was my thought exactly, but also can you imagine sitting there about to install your new os then thinking hang on,  I must go online and find out how to undo this box before I install it :crazy: what were Microsoft thinking >:D
