To all those who question my ethics for even asking this question... What the fuck are you doing on a steroids discussion board. Go back to your Hypocrites Anonymous Meeting and then come back and voice your opinion.
As for the other people with constructive posts... Thanks!
I forgot that Morpheus can do that too!
What are the chances that the downloads I do find on Morpheus are not just crazy viruses? Also, I heard that each copy comes with a unique serial # that is registered on MS's servers and cross checked for duplicates? Is this true, and if so, how can I get a hold of the Corporate Key that was making its way around?
Hypocrites all over this thread. But it is kinda crazy to just go out there and asked someone to burn you a copy and send it to you out of the godness of their heart.
Why the hell not???? I would do it for someone. Do you download MP3's from Morpheus or back when Napster was alive? Well you might have been stealing from young bands, making little to no money, with 80% of it being siphoned off by their label. Now you're telling me that you have a moral objection to not paying a few hundred bucks to Microsoft? A company worth 263 Billion dollars?
Call it what you want, I think this is hilarious!!!
Some broke-down fool who can't scrape together 200 dollars goes out on the internet and asks complete strangers to *mail* him valid copies of windows xp.
Actually it's closer to $500. And just to piss you off... I have no problem asking. You want to pay for it, go ahead, I'll explore my alternatives first. Of course I am Jewish, and Russian, so I guess this has something to do with it. We'll take 'free' over '$500' any day.
