:)

I'm fucked.

Haha, at least somone admits it. :winkwink:

ah theree will be another crack out for this soon enough..

I used to be the same way...but got tired of paying for software that didn't do what it claimied to. Now I "evaluate" software before I buy it.

:2 cents:

Hmmm, I'm using a pirated copy of XP Pro and Office... *turns off automatic updates*

I dislike microsoft just as much as any of you, but I have enough on my mind as it is, last thing I need to happen is for my computer to get fucked next time I run windows update... When I was a kid I used to use stolen software too, but now a days when there is actually quite a bit of $$ to be lost from downtime, it's not really worth it anymore...

oh no, the chinese are going to lose billions on the counterfiet software market.

Kinda like Starforce3, n'est pas?

How many people do you think this will affect???

Everybody, we´re talking about 1000´s of people.....:Oh crap :Oh crap

All my copies are legit! I have had pirated software in the past but its not worth the hassle it can cause.

lol @ it being okay to be a theif for just a little bit and pay afterwards.

man i got windows xp with this computer and have boughten so many products i cant remember which ones are clean i should be ok though 20:25 are registered prob

I had lots of probs with my RAID5 software and had to reinstall XP (from scratch - restore from backup just crashes immediately after boot) about 4 times in as many months. First time it complained that my copy was already registered to another comp and I had to call a number, but after that there were no problems doing it online. Maybe there's a range where they allow a bit of leeway for people who do reinstalls, or perhaps they can see from the unique code that only my HD is changing.

After the reinstall Photoshop announced my trial was over and I had to purchase a licence. It was a fucking full, paid install from a retail box! Trial? Pay? What the...

Microsoft's UK number goes to the US anyway.

100% Licensed M$ products here.... I started buying when XP came out...

i but my OS, but not the software. shit's WAY over priced.

they will make you walk teh plank. (it's shaped like a giant ram stick)

like you never downloaded a MP3 song :)

this was a few years back but the first people we spoke to were British

indeed though I know it is wrong...very rarely do it these days but I would be a liar if I said never

I bought Win95 and Win98 and that was it, never again. When I installed Windows 98 I had to reformat my hard drive and lost a shitload of data. You see Microshaft made a change to the FAT32 file system at the last minute and didn't bother telling anyone else so if you had Norton Utilities 3.0 installed you were screwed.

I purchase all my other software but never again will I purchase Windows and I have absolutely NO problem stealing it. And no I don't steal other software or content or music or movies so :321GFY
