darkedge In China, piracy is so popular that they don't even sell most originals stuff. 99% sold there is a piracy. Even the PS2 console are copied.I read in a magazine that they modified it to read dreamcast games.

darkedge try WindowBlinds from stardock, it's a window theme changer that doesn't alter the dll. I've seen a plug-in for it where you could create your own theme. I think you can change the text on the start button with it but I'm not 100% sure.

darkedge I'm not saying it's a conspiracy to poison us, I'm just saying the ingredient they use are getting worse because they don't care about what we eat, but just care about how much money they make. It's not a conspiracy, just pure greed.

darkedge the blue screen of death will take all it's meaning here. This is just another way to make customer pay more for car repairs. It will always go down and be very expensive for those repairs as it will need experts in car and computer system to do so.
