Its a shame, XP is such a great operating system.

Yes, because I'm on first name terms with my good buddy Mr Gates. No I didn't actually copy it you ponce - I don't have the source to copy it from - it was given to me by a colleague at work, not that it makes a difference - it'll never get used therefore it will never cost Microsoft a sale.

Same could be said for you. Nobody can say they have never used pirate software - they'd be lying if they did.
> As for my version of XP Pro, it's fully registered.
As you said before, no-one cares, so why have you just told us that? Or is it preparation for your next immature trolling attempt?

Oh, and Edgy, we've been through this before. Don't try and tell us you have absolutely nothing even remotely illegal on your computer.
As for my version of XP Pro, it's fully registered.

I have a pirated XP Pro, but I see no need in using it while I have a perfectly fine XP Home.

Nomino, standing proud for the Justice League of Pirates.
Trying to justify his use of illegitimate software by claiming everyone else has, when it quite clearly isn't true.

It's a fact that those who blatently "boast" about having an original copy of something, quite often don't. If you say you have a copy of XP, why do you need to back it up with a "yes a legal licensed copy"?
Nobody really cares, and Microsoft knows that the majority of home users use illegal copies of their OS. Most of Microsofts revenue from OS and related software comes from the larger corporate clients who buy licenses en-mass, and need to be seen to be street-legal.
If they cared so much they would copy-protect their CDs and make it bit more difficult to copy their warez. It wouldn't stop it happening, but the fact that they don't shows they are not really bothered. So why should you be bothered?

I picked up my legit XP Home at a computer fair for £64 at the beginning of last year. It definitely was worth the money as now I can benefit from Microsoft being on my side and off my back.
I agree AMD_MAN, Longhorn does look promising.
