    A tribute 20 years later: Secret Sticker Message


    You've probably seen this sticker on laptops that mainly run Windows 11.Looks normal, right? However, do you see the message? If you look carefully at the office icons, it'll trigger a memory:W stands for Windows.The X and P stand for XP.So basically, it says WINDOWS XP. If you were born in the 2000s, you'll probably relate to this.We still can't be sure if Microsoft did it by accident or on purpose, but it is a rather interesting easter egg.My theory is that Microsoft wanted a secret 20th anniversary celebration of the Windows XP.Since Windows XP was released on 2001 and the sticker says Offi

  2. A tribute to Nokia Lumia

    I came to this forum after four years I bought a nokia smartphone.first one was nokia N8. I had it for two years and then I bought Nokia Lumia 920. I had it for two years and i came here just to give a tribute to Nokia because I think It deserve it.



    I never ever came to the forum means I never had a problem with my nokia phones. I have used my Lumia 920 to its extreme. had always youtube switched on whole night with 3g everyday. 20 hours on weekend. not to mention how many times my kids have thrown
    it on to floor. one time even from the gallery down to road. but my lumia never stops. pictures I take from my Lumia are far better than my system camera. its easy to share stuff and yes its very simple to use.



    I thought to give a tribute to Nokia after four years. the reason that broght me here was that I buy an Xperia Z2. and start having problem from opening the box and even the screen selfcrack after twodays. and I had to search for their forum straight
    away after buying phone. I switched back to my lumia and I love it even more. Hats off to Nokia Lumia 920 and N8. it is no doubt the best I ever had

    What will happen on Jan 20, 2016?


    Strollin: I understand your suggestion, but that means I'll have to re-install all my sofftware etc. again. This is not an enticing thought at all.

    LCDR: I tried the old activation code I used before - it is the same on you posted.

    I tried the steps listed at the WinAero site. Last one failed because it said the server could not be located. But I did get the Jan 20, 2016 date back. So that's something.
