[Any instructions for how can we, the regular mortals, install XP on the iliad? An "instalation package" will be nice...]
First, the hardware upgrade... Add 2 GB of flash and ... say ... 256MB RAM and, about the machine clock, well... turn it on before breakfast to read something after dinner Last edited by lucianoassirelli; 04-01-2008 at 10:21 AM. Reason: forgot citation! |

I guess this is another reason for me to purchase a copy of XP. All my current installations are OEM'ed pre-installed systems.

Well, we secretly knew the iLiad could run buggy bloatware... but XP... well that just takes the statement to an entirely new dimension.
The real question is does it run Microsoft Bob? Nice joke Adam. Right up there with that "bug brings color.." Last edited by BKeeper; 04-01-2008 at 05:44 PM. |

Damn you! And just when I thought I'd seen through all the day's fools. It snuck under my guard since I didn't see it until after midnight.
