mrchetsteadman Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I really hate all the people who post no and seem happy about it. Yes, Legal, MCE 05, XP Pro, XP Home and I think I have two Windows Server 2003 Ent. Legal copies around. 586542876[/snapback] Not everyone can afford it. And before you say, "How did they get the computer?" It could have been a gift with windows 2000 on it. I can understand why people pirate. I understand why some agree not to pay for software for certain reasons,ex.. costs too much, don't got the money, your a kid, don't support the company, etc etc.. ;)) 586542938[/snapback] Thank You Yes. Only because im lucky to have an MSDN license 586543433[/snapback] Exactly. I used to pirate ALLLLL the time. EVERYTHING!! But then I came to Dell and got the MSDN license so now it's nothing. I get every MS product for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney T. Administrators Posted September 18, 2005 Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2005 It's funny how everyone who has a non-legit copy is using Pro. 586542938[/snapback] That's because the "leaked" corporate edition (Devil's Own) was an XP Pro edition. That is what most illegal copies came from........... at least in the beginning....... :ninja: Barney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I'll say, no comment. :pinch: That's because the "leaked" corporate edition (Devil's Own) was an XP Pro edition. That is what most illegal copies came from........... at least in the beginning....... :ninja: Barney 586544351[/snapback] That, and the fact that if you're going to bother to steal an OS you're probably not gonna get the "home" edition when you have a choice between home and professional...it just sounds cooler ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Started off with an illegal copy XP Pro when it came out. Had it for 6 months to test it to see if I liked it, then went and bought legal copy. I do this with all software. I hate wasting mooney on software that is poorly written. If I dont like it I get rid of it, if I do like it I'll buy it to support the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redFX Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 All legit now.... althought its taken me time to get all legit licenses. They should have a monthly payment plan instead of one lump sum amount... but I guess that's what credit cards are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamsebjørn Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I have an official licence for Windows XP Home, which came with my Dell notebook. I'm using Windows XP Pro now though... by licence of the company where I work. :) I asume this is legal, 'cause I use this notebook mainly for my job.
