_sphinx_ Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I live in Egypt, so NO! Its pricy enough that I buy my hardware from France/UK/states! I can't afford buying a legit copy of windows and in Egypt, trust me....we're lucky 20% of the population know what a computer is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit4130Rider Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 No, well kinda illegal. I have a person who works for somewhere and they have corp keys. So its not really "illegal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gersson Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I use an illigitimate ****** copy of XP SP2. The reason why I HAVEN'T bought a legit version is activation. I format my PC and upgrade like a biatch. Seriously, my lifestyle doesn't LET me have a XP Pro retail or OEM. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I'm running Windows XP Home that came with my laptop. I reinstalled once, but I don't need to activate it. I run Linux on my desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 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] True but there was always patches for home just after. And yes pro does sound better.. lol :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Zaria Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have 2 legit copies of XP Pro, but I've installed them on more than 2 computers (all the machines are mine, though). So it's quazi-legal. I can't afford $250+ for each computer, so it was move to Linux or bypass activation a few times.... :ninja: Peace, Pete Zaria.

So it's quazi-legal.586546464[/snapback] Does the "quasi" prefix have some unknown definition that means "not"? :rofl:You have two legal installs, and one not legal. Should have been a poll option for "some not". Oh well... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted September 19, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 19, 2005 No. When XP first came out I grabbed a legit Home Edition copy, then the CD broke so I phoned around everywhere, including Microsoft and asked for a replacement CD and they wouldn't offer it to me, so screw them if they're going to be like that and muck me around.

So you could just downloadf the same version as you bought and use your legit key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
