morto

ok guys , been reading up on this and firstly the peeps who think a keygen will get round this it wont..microsoft nows all its numbers and when you make one its simply not reconised by microsoft so thay no its a pirate
next yes thay is a crack and will work for now ..until microsoft disable it
the best option i can see is that microsoft will let anybody with a pirate copy have a genuine one for half price
or if you have a genuine copy that comes up as a pirate, microsoft will give you a genuine copy free of charge
the thing here is why go and buy a copy at full price from a shop when you can get one for half price?? what message does that send out to the people who have bought genuine copys at full price

whats peeps thoughts on this

They probably don't care because the next operating system is probs not too far off!

I got round the windows update thing just by disabling the addon! can get critical ones anyway?!

Jim Galbally

auto updates does not give you all you need... it wont do service packs or anything non-critical

unless youre using a WSUS server... but thats a bit overkill for home use
