zyg_china Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 it's said that due to the popular use of XP Keygen,M$ decide to open the XP activation for everyone,no matter what kind of product they used(include pirate copy)!Because some customers of M$ found that the key they pay for had been used. what I want to say is "Great!!Great!!Great" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underscorebios Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 One thing is true though, there is a working keygen and this brings up the question "when a legitimate user goes and tries to register a valid product what will happen if that product is allready registered?", and another thing, with windows activation m$ only whanted to prevent one thing (or so they sayd) the usual "hey, can i borrow your windows copy to install at my place?", and not true "hardcore" piracy if you may call it that. In all it could be that m$ is trying to spare legitimate costumers the hassle, who knows ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted March 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 4, 2002 Moved to General Discussion forum. Dude, just my curiosity, why did you put this in tweak forum? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 If activation dissappeared me would be much happier. I bought WinXP but I was hessitant because I format my drive a lot. "focie" it was called in another thread quite a while back. LOL! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
