I believe that you should be able to install a purchased OS on more than just one of your own P.C.’s… After all if Microsoft is that crafty they would have an easier time registering my software to me on more than one P.C.> verses trying to keep me from hacking the second copy… I bought it and putting it on 2 of MY OWN P.C.’s should be well within the legal guidelines of the EULA… Don’t they have enough money and market?

I agree with previous posters, I’d say that running hacked software is indeed worth it. It might take a bit of know-how but the time required to master how to install a ServicePack on Windows XP is always less than it takes to earn the money required to buy the product.
Plus there are guides, pre-cracked SP versions, slipstreamed and cracked XP ISOs, keygenerators (that work), keychangers, etc …

Don’t be so righteous, I’m sure you do your fair share of jaywalking. It sounds to me like you’r protecting your self-image by being appearing a “good person” in this case. Makes me suspicious. Hmmm.

Most are not smart enough to change thier banned numbers, programs to generate new numbers are available. I guess most want everything done for them. A lot of people will continue to suffer from thier own ignorance, Oh well. Cant hold everyone’s hand
