Re: [XP Pro] Not Gennuine Win XP
I've seen some funky ones, one guy I helped had a totally hacked version which included many other illegal copies of software titles, and software to bypass other restrictions. I could give the name here, but I don't want to help those who don't know about it already. There was thousands of dollars worth of pirated software on that dvd install disk ranging from cheap utilities to office 2003, and professional adobe software.
In the end I tell them where to get an oem/dsp version, and how to buy all the other software which they find useful, they scoff at how much all this software really costs....
Piracy costs everyone in the end, but if companies didn't charge so damn much some people wouldn't feel the need to pirate. However these people don't really need these things if they can't afford them either.... Which CEO is the richest man in the world, and yet they can't lower prices?
