  Gov / Larry,

  I'm a fan.  I love the show.  I found an interesting problem that I cannot see away around.

  Problem Description:
  a) Windows 8
  b) Windows 8 Media Center Pack
  c) I purchased a license for the Media Center Pack
  d) I installed it on 1 computer and it works just fine.
  e) I used the same license for a second computer thinking, it probably should work and it did, however, the next day I recieve an activation window
  f) I was cool with purchasing another license for $9.99 as I like Media Center enough
  g) Now, I'm stuck in "Hell", I cannot activate the product and I can't get the Activation Window to stop popping up
  h) When I call the number 855-469-9468 thinking that I can just purchase there, I'm in "Hell" again. I cannot get around the prompts and I cannot purchase a license
  
  What is a brother to do ?

  I still absolutely "LOVE" Windows 8 - but good golly, this one is trying as it is on my DEV PC.

  I will say in addition...
  
  - I definately don't want to attack the messenger but, I've tried to attack system debugging on Windows a few times and I just never have gotten as good at it as I was on UNIX.

  I'm going to watch all of your episodes a few times and see how far it takes me.

  I really appreciate you taking the time to do this... I have the same problem with SQL Server and using Performance Tuning, but that's for another forum...
  
  Thanks again and keep up the good work.

  Complaint - Concern.

  I watch a lot of videos on this site and your pitch and delivery was good but it was way too much information for me without demos.  I could use smaller doses with demos of live application perfmon tracing to solidify all of this information.

  Thanks (Concerned) follower.

  Ron,

  I'm very happy to see your return.
  This series means a lot to me.
  I've looked for it over the last few months and hoped you'd have a safe return.

  Simply Awesome!  

  The possibilities are endless (full text and the fuzzy logic sort of implications).

  Donna, you did a great job!  (Thank You)

  I would really like to see more on F#.  I've wondered about F# for a while and haven't had any good examples until now. (I could have bought a book but this video is worth more than 1000 words.)

  @DeadX07:I have been thinking of the same thing and I think Microsoft has the same idea.  I was checking the "End of Life" for Windows XP the other day and saw something interesting.  Windows 7 has an "End of Life" of somewhere around 2020....

  Maybe Microsoft is betting on 2 different markets here...
