How do u come to know sanjubuddy is using a legal copy. If he is having a legal copy then y isnt he activating it thru microsoft.

1 more vote formatting doesnt affect the drive.

because it is in 30 days trial period & for acitivation he needs a key which hi has to pay.

full format does reduce the life of drive

lol then it is just a trial mode he is using, no license \so cant be called "legal"

I thought he is using a oem version which requires a key as well as needs to be activated in 30 days or h/w change. BTW, trial versions of windows are of 120 days. (though not sure)
