I just borrow original softwares from my friends and return them back.

isnt it cool

welli have win xp homesp1(given with my hp laptop.)
now i want to install it on my desktop.
but it just doesnt activate!!!

 

[icecoolz]

biplav...it wont activate since the Windows XP given with it is usually customized for the HP laptops. So it might not work properly unless its a full installation CD. And also using a OME version which usually ships with a laptop is legally bound to that laptop and hence cannot be used on any other system.

 

[Yoda]

Only companies and people who want to make money using Softwares should buy it.

Others no need to buy.

I use pirated software either it's Full or Retail or Cracked ones.

I will never buy a software.

I don't even buy Pirated Software. I just Download them.

 

[vishal_bhatia87]

I hate piracy.

 

[deadman]

I am the king of Piracy

We have to do it! it is too costly affair 8)

 

[Keith Sebastian]

Why is it totally acceptable to buy software that crashes when it's doing something that it's advertised as capable of, and when it's used the way it's meant to be used by a qualified operator who understands the user manual?

Would you buy a car that needed an upgrade so the brakes would work 100% of time?

What if cars where like Windows?

What if Microsoft customer support took over GM's helpline?

So, until software is designed like cars, I'll always ask - Is it worth it? Is there a free alternative?

@icekoolz: thanx for the info, but i think its a full installation file.
by the way, i had installed it and did some crack that would keep extending the date evryday by running in the system memory.
that way i was able to run xp home for 2 moths or so.
but once i deleted it from startup manually(havent figured it out y did i do so), all sort of probs came p.
now even if i add this back to the startup entries , still the days kept on reducing.
so i finally called off for it and installed win xp pro.
whooo. wat a relief!

 

[expertno.1]

i have no any other pirated software other than windows

who uses original windows ???????????????????????/
thast a costly affair which we cannot afford it

 

[cancer10]

I never used Genuine software in my life. All my software are pirated which I download from Internet, I downloaded Windows Longhorn last week ;D

I can get any software I want and make it full version

 

[Captain Digit]

Never used pirated software.

 

[Ishita]

I always use pirated software.

 

[ashisharya]

I dont use pirated softwares but I download from P2P applications. I get genuine soft from my friends.

 

[mamba]

the last i remember was me buying ' NBA LIVE 2001 ' , 5-6 yrs back

b4 that used 2 buy a game every summer , so have original myst n interstate '76

that means my last ' legal ' purchase was a gud half-a-decade back

after that palika has been my mecca

n now have got a nice broad band connection

so the 'leagal' stuff really goes out of the window in this day n age of fast internet

 

[Delpiero]

Paying for softwares is useless IMO. Therefore i proudly say that i use pirated softwares.
