The amount of people I know that know at least half of that key... Including me! lolMrLOL said:it was
there was the infamous "devil's 0wn" cracker group. Who took a photo outside the XP Countdown timer at redmond, with an XP Corp CD rom in one hand, and a valid CD key (the infamous devil's 0wn CD key, used by just about all of the first hacked versions of XP) with 23 days still remaining on the countdown timer

Of course I have a legit OEM copy of Vista now that I have a job and can afford a legitimate OS! Haha
That was exactly what I thought as I was digging around for my debit card in January.HEADRAT said:they've had 6 years of a pretty decent OS with free upgrades and service packs.

why youd want to buy vista at all untill atleast service pack 2 I dont understand. Buggy as hell!
I feel compelled to point out there that the way MS have got such an insane market share is that they do a deal with Dell/HP/other OEMs to the effect that if they ship PCs with other (ie Non-MS) operating systems, the price that they have to pay for Windows licences goes up.Lister2020 said:It really isnt MS fault that other people suck at getting market share and making an OS that can commercially compete with theirs.

The OEM version of ultimate from here was about £140. Say you have it for 5 years, thats what, £29 and some change a year?
Not to mention that yes they do constantly add updates and fix new security exploits, And that is all covered under the initial charge.
Vista runs ABSOLUTELY FINE now. The only thing I can't get working is my webcam. And that is a driver issue.
McManicMan said:ironically - Vista Ultimate, lol, but it was free, hence why i said i would never pay for it
