re: Couldn't enter Compaq PC's bios Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 5:05 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2228 messages posted) Having just backtracked through the entire message thread, I don't see anywhere in it that anyone suggested PIRACY as a valid option. There is no such thing as a legal "XP Performance Edition", as you should be well aware. That is a hacked copy of a copyrighted product. You should be embarrassed with yourself for publicly admitting that you are a thief, and (TTBOMK) for breaking the forum's ToS while doing that, I'm sure. .
