My plans for Vista are simple, if I can't crack it, I'll just use my sister's university connection to get a legitimate copy. She won't want to run it on her MacBookPro anyways.

When Boomers vomit on him he wipes himself off, shoots peptobismol into their mouths, and performs liposuction on them before splattering their brains on the wall. When a Tank throws a chunk of concrete at him he rolls up his sleeves and puts on boxing gloves. When a Witch gives him lip he pulls his hand back and slaps that bitch right in the mouth.

On my desktop? No. Built from scratch, and I'm not gonna bother paying for Windows XP. Ever.
My laptop's copy was legit until about eight months ago - The first time I decided it was time for a reinstall. Yay for isos with SP2 slipstreamed in. |

I'm currently using a burned version of Windows XP Professional Corporate, so I guess I don't have to bother with this activation shit. Some months ago, I actually took purchasing a legitimate version of Windows XP into consideration, but with the upcoming Windows Vista this just would have been wasted money. If Windows Vista has any advantages over Windows XP, I'll probably download it as well someday, as long as I don't have to activate anything.

I find this ridiculous. It is not like they aren't disclosing that Windows is part of the package. If I go to Sony, I can't say, "Look, I bought this radio and I don't use the AM dial, so I'd like you to remove the AM functionality from this radio and refund me the price of what AM functionality costs." That's retarded.
And, besides, what the fuck kind of Linux user buys a Dell? These people are just being asses, plain and simple.

You can get systems from Dell Business and Education sites that don't come pre-installed with an OS, so I'm not really feeling any sympathy.
Not to mention that MS gives Dell and other large manufacturers discounts for the massive quantities of licenses they purchase (and additional discounts for making every computer come with Windows), making the price of a Windows license surely less than half of those you'd find in an OEM box. If they wouldn't put Windows preinstalled on all of their systems, the price of all other home boxes they'd sell would go up considerably. Personally, I doubt Dell minds pissing off the whole ten people in the country that want to buy a pre-built Dell and install Windows on it in order to save all their other clients money. I mean, seriously, how many people do you know that use linux and don't build their own systems? |

You should worry (about the milk).
On a side note: This refund thing goes back to the late 90s, when even fewer retailers were offering OS-less boxes. Today one does not have to go to such great lengths in order to obtain such a machine and there are even vendors who sell computers with a pre-installed Linux. |

I voted no because this box isn't running a legit copy; however, I have two legit copies sitting my my drawer. One is a 64bit SP1 and the other is a regular old XP Professional. I only paid 10 bux for shipping. Thanks University. :skeet:

i got a question for all u pirating peepz (btw this copy of XP Pro is legit, and my previous Home edition as well)
i like pirating.. (who doesnt?) getting shit for free is good. but I mean, the OS is the only thing I DONT pirate... cause it's your freakin' OS. u cant afford for it to crap out on you. well say Windows do their updates, what do people who've pirated Windows OS do? I mean I probably would pirate myself, but the whole genuin-copy thing means u need a legit one or u cant update the OS... right? thats the only issue I got w/ pirating an operating system.
FFS!!

Thanks for exhuming this year-old thread. :/
I don't know what you're talking about when you say Windows will "crap out" on you if it's pirated. Some torrents out there are reliable. I have access to the Corporate Pro version of XP so I just copied the disc and used a fake key. For updates: www.autopatcher.com |

okay, but dont even start whining. why make a new thread to ask a short question? it's better using search function than just making a new thread when one exists already.
so that's how EVERY person who pirates their windows get their updates then?
FFS!!
