My dippy mate thinks a illegal copy of windows is good , i dont thinkk he understands the risks of having a copy of the sort so , if all you pros could tell me all the negtives on why having a copy like that is bad i will post this link to him and maybe wake him up a bit cheers. PS , this is genunie im afrAID his system will crash.Illegal INSTALLATIONS won't install windows updates or service packs. That leaves his system extremely vulnerable to attacks, worms, viruses, trojans, and the like.
Some programs like Office may not install. Office won't install updates either. Again, leaving his system vulnerable.also depending on where you get the copy it might come with a host of infections which in turn will be hard on the system and you. many help forums(like this) wont help anyone one with illegal copies of software on their computers...

if you dont want to pay then get linux its free all the programs on windows have free alternatives that work on linuxCheers for this guys , he had some really bad inffecttion on his computer the other week. I tryed helping him out with some good anti-spyware programs but none of it worked , so i think hes just started fresh , i have only just found out , that the copy was not downloaded online it was copyed from an orginal windows x-p disc does this matter.richenstony ........ making a copy a real legit MS XP operating system ....... is STILL considered piracy ....particularly if the copy is installed on a machine other than the one it was initially installed on.......
and of course, as already mentioned .......... the latest updates are not available unless the software passes the WGA test .

dl65 ok ok lets hope he doesnt get in trouble he is my mate after all .......
