NoneAvail Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I already brought it on the first day it came out. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerone Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I wouldnt for XP, but I will for Vista. From what I've seen from the beta and builds, its a well deserved money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElementalDragon Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 if it didn't cost an arm and a leg and a loan from the mafia, i would. price is probably the main reason that people DO pirate windows. i could see maybe $100 for XP home (talking when it was first released)..... MAYBE $150 for Professional. spending like $200 for home when it first came out.... that's freakin ridiculous. i'm glad that they've said Vista may be a LOT cheaper when it's released..... but that's not entirely confirmed yet.

AltecXP Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i have 3 copies of XP Home from OEM mahines 2 XP Pro CD's from school 1 XP Pro x64 CD from school All legal, and I have devils own, x64 corp, x64 server corp, 2003 corp, ect If i could not have gotten xp from online i'd have had to wait till 2003 to get it legaly(on new machine) but i still use 2000 mostly so i wouldnt care. Honestly if they made 2000Pro x64 i'd still be running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Causas Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 seeing as how my legit copy will not activate. I do not see apoint in paying $300 for another copy that will not do me any good if i end up having to pirate it again in 3 months anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menge Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Nah... I'd use Linux till I had enough money to buy a Mac :) I can live without my games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0sh Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 No. I'd save up and buy a mac. I really want to, but I'm too lazy to save up. I guess I'd be forced to this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 No. Because my computer came with it lol. (Windows XP Home) Plus I want to switch over to a Mac because I am sick of Windows and its bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralRooster Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I only used a non-legit copy of Windows until I could afford the mac... then the mac mini came out and My prayers were answered... never looked back (although I keep the windows version cos everyone I know comes to me with a problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 No. Windows' true value isn't much. OS-X sells for cheaper than XP Home and is more complete as an O/S unlike Windows which you have to add lots of software for people like us anyway. Heres a real question. Would you use Windows if you couldn't pirate/crack any software? In other news, the number of users using photoshop decreased dramatically. More at 11. I'd permanently move on Linux if I had no possible way of acquiring windows for dead-cheap or if the MSDN Academic Alliance thing didn't exist for me to us to get free licenses at school.

cchasem Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yea I'd pay up to $100 for it. Otherwise, I'm with Menge on Linux 'till i could get a mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKuro Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I suppose I would be forced too. Or I might just use my powerbook exclusively, or maybe use the copy of XP home Upgrade that I bought foolishly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesNQ Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yes. I did, one copy per machine back home (3 PC desktops, 4 laptops) and all are legal. Desktop copies were bought on the day of release, despite having the final version off t'interweb. There's even a copy on the Powermac, but that came with Virtual PC.

udontneed2know Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 If I couldnt steal windows I'd never have ever had a version lol. I'd never put a single dime in Microsofts pockets. Which is why im stealing the 360 from a friend muwahhaah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
