This actually happened 2-3 days ago

And I made them aware within about 5 seconds of them posting the 'spam' initially.

They did remove it within seconds but hey, it's the internet.

I get a static £10 a month off what it should be for TiVo, TVXL, 50mb and free weekend calls. After my first year they applied it as a "loyalty customer discount"

So basically...

They've taken the o2 XDA Orbit II design and claimed it for their own.

Don't get me wrong, i'm well aware that HTC build the XDA Orbit II also and that o2 have a design relationship but come on...

@ Cynicism by AC

To be fair, pubs get 90% of their glasses for free by promotion, though granted the pub will eventually pick up the "bill" via increased costs of ales, beers, spirits, hell even post-mix

to the AC with Windows 8

when I type SET into my cmd window

i get:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

in XP i would get something like

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.1.2600]

Copyright (c) 2002 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

IT's going by NT version numbers/codebase, not the old, and now legacy "386"/DOS codebase

Windows 7 should therefore TECHNICALLY (speculation) be NT version 7

The fac tthe Milestones are on 6.x codebases still is fine, Vista was too til later beta's. They're still in alpha dont forget.

I guess the true test will be, wait until RTM, and see if it registered as 6.1/6.2/6.5 or as NT 7.0.xxxx

To Be Fair..

The data should not be able to be opened by anyone else other than people with the corresponding smart card certificate (all Govt. employee's have smart cards for this reason)
