Ya, back about 1985 people decided to buy IBM compatible computers since IBM endorsed Microsoft. (they are sorry they did that). But people decided to buy those computers over Apple at the time anyway.
 
Sorry I have to use a Windows computer, because before I had an Apple computer and it worked.
 

Hi,
 
I'll be on the 3rd day with Microsoft Support to fix the issue with Windows 8 Pro and the conflicts between the Homegroup and the Network ... and today will be the 7th hour on this already ... one machine has had two re-installs, and we'll see what happens on the other machine today ... they found that they could see the machine with a set IP, but not the Windows way ....
 
I think that if it hits the 9th hour, I will amend my complaint to Microsoft and tell them they I should get new, and working, software!
 
 
It's the first time, I have ever had an issue with any of the Professional Software from Microsoft! Win XP-Pro has been magnificent all around, W7 Pro has been fine. W8-Pro looks like something that was not finished when they sold it, but they wanted to get everyone's attention on something or other, I bet! ... well I got them the State of WA Attorney General to send them a letter! That is the best attention there is!
 
Things started out by the machine losing the network information all the time.

Well, I've never been validated.
 
What's the point? Ya?

But you Am!

Anything else not understood about computers? Processing cores are not complete processors like the central entire CPU which is the complete processor. The cores only do a limited amount of work, in storing instructions (that would have to be read again by the CPU in memory taking longer) in their cache, and storing frequently used instructions to speed up the computer by making the complete processor CPU faster. They do not work like the complete CPU in the computer and can not and never will be able to do as much. They assist the complete CPU processor.

I understand the point you're making, but you're wrongly discounting the fact that Microsoft uses the term CPU to refer to a processing core. Observe:
 

 
Note that my view options are set to "one graph per CPU" instead of "One graph, all CPUs" and that the CPU history section at the top is displaying 6 graphs (I have 6 cores). You might want to take this up with Microsoft. 
 

It's not bad until Windows says YOU'RE not validated.

It's not bad until Windows says YOU'RE not validated.

I've been getting that message since Win 3.1

I saw it in v2, but since that was IBM's short-lived attempt to get rid of Microsquish, I've ignored it ever since.

Did you ventilate it?
 
OH, sorry you said validate. My bad.
