Okay ive got this new job on the first day they want me to do something illegal.
Do I blow it off completely or do I go there and suggest alternative?

This job isnt well paid really doing it as a favour, just dont like the way this is
going. I don't want to get myself in trouble and I do not want them to get
in trouble.

Advice / Experiences please.
 
Change vista to windows [xp] without paying, not sure what their setup is they might have licences on the boxs buttt still doesnt fill me with confidence...

Suggest windows 7 maybe, if free download is still on?

Failing that, Indecent Proposal. With a chicken.

Most machines have an XP+Vista Upgrade license.. so you'll probably find it isn't illegal at all. Besides which, if it's a large company, they'll be inundated with various audits they must comply with.
 
oh dear iNPUt, you are really fresh to the IT world arn't you? It's not illegal at all. If you have a Vista licence, then you can downgrade to XP no problem.
 
Either way, if you're willing to give up a perfectly good job over something like that, when so many are without, you're a mentalist.
