And Microsoft wonder why people pirate their OS's....

And I wonder why people would pay for/pirate TEH BEST VERSION EVAR but never use the extra features.

I'm actually purchasing a real copy for one simple reason; knowing that it's not pirated so everything is legit and above all the data will be working, not "hmm ... it should work!!!11!1".
I already had enough bad experiences with pirated XP Pros until I bought a legit version which lasted me a good while (XP Pro still had problems) then I just decided to purchase the operating systems rather than pirating them. Less headache and saves me time.

I will admit I hate pirating OSs since you never really know if your going to get a stable disc, only time I did it was for XP Pro, after a couple tries I ended up finding out my friend had ISOed his and I had him shoot me it over P2P, which was a very helpful stint. So I will have to agree with you on that one, pirating an OS really isn't worth the hassle of going I hope it works, I hope it works, dammit next. Though I have thought about it with Windows 7, I still don't want to go threw the hassle, not to mention I don't have my own key like I did for XP Pro, only reason I was trying to get a disc was since I found my old key for Pro.
fohfoh:
I've gone through enough shit to realize that pirating an OS is just plain painful. Once you get it to work, hooray. But before that... it's like being a linux guy and reprogramming half the god damn thing to make it work. That's how painful it feels. Great rewards, crappy loops that you gotta jump though.
I wonder if Win 7 will have key issues in October.

They're getting couple of copies to their stores since they have business with Microsoft (or something). No more quick launch, rather the board itself is an actual quick launch. Folders can be combined from other directories and other HDD's into one (freaking sweet as hell), rotating background images from the OS, not some freaking third party program, each folder REMEMBERS its own set up, unlike Vistas super shitty set up that can never be customized; Windows XP Pro excels in this area over Vista, loads a lot faster when you start it and shuts down just as fast ... what else did I miss? I only played around with it for an hour or so.

Sounds like you had a blast playing on it lol.
I don't think I'm going to touch windows 7 until I get a new computer or have a friend let me mess with theirs lol. So far I hear windows 7 is what vista was suppose to be like. Either way I can't wait to try it out.

Actually, you could just buy vista ultimate for by a certain date and get the free upgrade to 7. Hell of a lot cheaper.
