:D A friend phoned me up from wick last week,she was chuffed coz she just got a new copy of win XP installed on her computer!(whats wrong with that i hear you say!).Well the copy was a false one,and may i add illegal to install.What a lot of internet novices dont understand is,somewhere along the line your going to need to reinstall windows,(reformatting hard-drive)and if you havent got a legitimate copy of windows to do that,so your gonna end up paying someone again to reinstall windows,or use there copy.But microsoft aint stupid!,or should i say there servers aint.They will cotton on your using a pirate copy of windows,and refuse you to download critical updates,patches etc!.Every copy of windows comes with a reference no,if you use that refrence no 5 times with a different isp no,then your gonna get caught!.Atip if your buying a second hand computer,always make sure you get the cd rom with it,that will allow you to reinstall windows.IF you go to get your computer repaired,they will ask you for your windows copy if it needs to be reinstalled,otherwise youll end up being charged 65 quid for a new copy of windows!. :eek: dont buy fakes! cheers scots
