Symbiotic Hat Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The title shows it. What will happen?1) Lock up your computer 2) Just dont install, but you can still use your computer From what I have read it will install on pirated copies. But I don't know since I didn't pirate my copy of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NtOrZor Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The title shows it. What will happen?1) Lock up your computer 2) Just dont install, but you can still use your computer It is unlikely that your computer will lock up, my guess is it just won't install. That's what happens in SP1 if you attempt to install SP1 on a pirated copy of Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forster Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Works just fine. Indeed - 'pirated' keys seem to do two things with Sp2, Jack, and sh1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquid Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Pirated keys work fine. Trust me on this. The keys that were blocked out in SP1 will not work though, only keys after SP1 will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvbfan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I also heard that it will cause SP1 to need to be reactivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yep.... my XP is pirated, and it works fine. I don't even get anything at Windows Update saying that my key is blocked. I think I'm going to buy Longhorn when it's out, because I think that there might be some serious crippling on pirated copies. But also.... there probably won't be.

dmp3 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 If you want Windows XP for free, why don't you just do that Windows Mobile Training thing. :D That's what I did. Free Windows XP, and no bad feelings. Why steal when you can obtain for free ;) Stealing is bad... and if you want to be bad... then you go on, and be a baaaad boooy.

ViperSpeeder2002 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 From what I think I read on M$'s website, only those keys that woould not work on SP1 will not work on SP2. Don't hold me to this cause I have no way to test it cause mine is legit. So I believe its just the legacy CD keys that were blacklisted in SP1 that are still blacklisted in SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Dream Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 MS makes money anyways on every computer sold. when you buy a Dell computer with Windows XP loaded, MS will receive a percentage... or even close to the full amount. so whether people have legit copies of Windows XP or not, MS will still generate a good revenue. It's not like cracking a game and where the developer will never get any revenue from the games cracked. this is because games don't come preloaded generally on PC systems from the manufacturer.
