cool man if you dont want to go for Original or pirated one & still want to use the software then go for 15-30 days trial version
One of my friend who is IT professional able to buy original but has comp. in his home he use Norton System Works 2005, Norton has some utility in it which records all file while installing the software, he install the trial version & after the expiry of software he uninstall he software with norton & again install the trial copy & belive the he again get 30 days trial software installed in PC
for windows i exactly dont know but he use trial version & Windows give more than 3 months of trial period so for him it is a habit to format the PC in 3 months
Technically, that is also not legal... Trial version is supposed to be for testing the software. After testing the software for the said period (usually 30 days), the license says that to continue to use the software you should purchase it. By uninstalling the trial software clean and reinstalling it for reuse, you will be violating the software license agreement...
If you dont want to go for the high-cost software, try out the free software... In most cases (except for professional use), you will find free software that do as well or almost as well as the more popular paid software...
Lets assume that you paid for Windows...
For Office Suite, you have OpenOffice.org.
For antivirus solutions, you have Avast/AVT,etc (but these are free for home use only and not for office use).
For firewall, you have Kerio, Zone Alarm Personal editions.
For system maintenance you have many small utils such as TuneXP, Xteq X-Setup, jv16 older version(current versions are shareware, you can download the last free version from a few websites), xpAntispy, CCleaner, etc.
For compression, there is Zip Genius.
For spyware checking, there is Adaware and Spybot SnD
For backup, you can use Windows backup tool, Polder backup and many more free tools.
For Notepad enhancements, there are many including Edit Pad Lite, Crimson Editor, etc...
For music and videos, WinAmp, QCD Player, DivX, K-Lite pack, etc.
For photo editing, GIMP, Photofiltre
For browsing, Opera, Mozilla, Avant Browser, SLim Browser
