Oh, this thread!

I actually formatted my computer tonight (first time in three years). Decided to put that legit copy of XP to use.

YOU HEAR THAT, BILL? YOU CAN CALL OFF THE DOGS NOW.

As of right now I'm running Windows XP Pro under an illegal VLK CD-Key. I do in fact have a legal Windows XP key, but it's for the Academic version and switching to that key makes Windows activation act up (that and it also can't be used during the installation of the Corporate version of Windows XP), so I'm sticking with the VLK key for now (though it does work with Windows Genuine Advantage, so no need to change).

And as for Windows Vista, well I used the timerlock crack to make the trial period extend itself indefinitely, so that copy is most definitely illegal.

All I can say is I have never paid for a piece of computer software (that isn't a game), so this is all to be expected.

When Hunters jump on him he flips them over, pins them to the ground, and rips out their teeth one at a time.

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.

I used to pirate stuff all the time, but I'm working on making my software environment more legal—developers gotta eat too, you know. I'm starting with stuff that's cheap. I'll work my way up to Final Cut Studio and Creative Suite Design Premium. Now that I have money to spend, I ought to spend it.

MY computer has a legal copy of Win XP Home, but my OTHER computers all have cracked versions of Win XP Home. I found you can crack Win XP Home and it stays cracked as long as you don't install Service Pack 2.
I tried the VLK thing for Pro, but MS locked it down so well now, that it's impossible to find a key that's still considered unleaked and valid.
NEWS!

Well...

TECHNICALLY i do have a legal copy of windows. TECHNICALLY, it's one of those spiffy student versions so you can validate the serial like an infinite number of times.

And although I am a student, I didn't get it the way it was meant to be gotten. So in that aspect it is illegal. BUT! On the other hand this version was meant to be used by many many many MANY people. Or so i tell myself.

Soooo, do I get points for being leet?
Oh no...!!!

My Windows XP version is 100% original since it was pre-installed on my notebook. I don't think it's extremely smart to use a pirated operating system if you don't know how to make sure that they can't figure it out.

I have to use legit on mine. (WinXPSP2 Pro) Anything that isn't: Legit and higher than SP2, my motherboard throws a fit, for some odd reason.

For some odd reason, however, it liked my Vista Ultimate.

I also have a legit Windows Vista Business Edition, but only because I got it for free when Microsoft was holding power together campaign online. Did anyone else participate? Just curious... You could also get Microsoft Office 2007 for free, but I was 10 minutes too late...
