I guess They promote theft by not supplying you with books, paper, and pencils, right?


I should have been more clear. They provide an illegal copy of 2k pro or 2k server when a 120 day trial isn't included with the text books. For that reason, I use Red Hat when at all possible.

I'm not sure. I bought it from Microsoft, but somehow I don't think I'm supposed to be still using my copy of Windows 2000 Beta 3

Oh yeah, Microsoft's brilliant activation scheme has really cut down on piracy. :|

Me <-- XP Pro legal
I haven't had to reactivate yet, but so far I've only added 256 MB of RAM. Wait 'til I start swapping cards and OC'ing.

I started out with an illegal "evaluation" copy of Windows XP Pro. I liked it, so I purchased some licenses for me and the rest of my team. The amusing thing is that I needed to use an hack program to change my CD-Key to the legitimate key that I purchased, so I could install service pack 1.

The activation is not there to keep people from pirating the software completely, it's there to keep casual pirates from giving it to their friends or installing it on a bunch of machines.
