OT - Stealing XP

Fritz · 02-04-2003, 03:11 PM

I currently have Windows 3.1 on a laptop, and it just isn't cutting it. I really would like to upgrade to XP. I have XP on every other computer in my house, but not the laptop. All I really want to know is where to steal a copy of XP. Does Microsoft have a download site I can use a stolen password to access? Or should I just shoplift it from a retailer? I don't want a copy (that would be wrong).

Thanks a bunch

I would rob Best Buy at gunpoint myself.

it's actually pretty easy to code your own version.

Tarkus · 02-04-2003, 03:18 PM

Why don't you just upgrade to Win '95? I'll give ya that for free.

Are you TRYING to kill him?

same holds for MP3s.

HOWEVER, there is a difference between legality and ethics in my opinion. I have no problem downloading pirated software or music BECAUSE I WILL PAY FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I ENJOY. Technically, this is still illegal. I know it's a nebulous line that's crossed, but I feel like I'm still a moral person.

I do the same, but I'm struggling to figure out: how do you pay for the free porn you find on the internet?

astralhaze · 02-04-2003, 04:13 PM

well you can install a pirated version of XP, but the problem is you cannot upgrade to SP1 without a legit key.

astralhaze · 02-04-2003, 07:17 PM

Nor can you active it. If you don't activate it will lock itself up after 30 days IIRC.

McSweeny · 02-04-2003, 07:20 PM

actually you can install and activate a pirated copy of XP on your computer. You just have to make sure you get the corporate version.

And as for upgrading to SP1 you just get a code that works for XP and has not been entered into the database by downloading a little program that someone who cracked microsoft's code threw together. Then you just go into the change code part of windows and pretend you called a phone rep up and enter your new code and ta-daa! XP SP1 installed and working on a pirated copy of XP

not that i would know about this by experience or anything....

stkelly52 · 02-04-2003, 09:01 PM

Wonderful, a thread on how to pirate software. Can anyone give me any tips on stealing a car?

astralhaze · 02-04-2003, 09:23 PM

Well, you should have gloves and dark clothing as well as a blunt object...

bbor · 02-04-2003, 09:51 PM

I stole Fritz's pussy.

Fritz · 02-04-2003, 09:53 PM

all I have to say is "God Bless the Stem Cell"

A blunt object? You gotta have a slim jim, man. A blunt object just makes to much damn noise. Geez, who taught you how to break into cars?

Tasan · 02-04-2003, 10:13 PM

Actually, I believe if you read the EULA on XP, if you have one legit copy, it gives you the right to also install it on one 'mobile' machine too.

Meh.
