I have one pc for myself, on gateway pc, one for my wifes business, one for my kid, i guess thats only 4 not 5. Sorry for the bad math
What? Someone else is smart enough to create and market something for the masses and you aren't. So it's ok to ignore copyright, ownership, and just good manners because you're too poor to buy it? Get some respect for the works other people put their time, effort, and intelligence into. You play with their toys, you play by their rules. Either pay for it, or don't use it.
You know you don't have to use it right? You know you could have stuck with the OS on the system. OoOOoOoOooh look at the leet pirate! He has cracked versions of Windows XP.
Really, what if all the work your wife did was suddenly being used by her biggest competitor? You'd be cool with it right? I mean, why should they spend money to get the work done when they can just take the work your wife did?
I don't understand how you can take someone else's work, use it however you want, and still sleep at night. It doesn't make sense. It's worth paying for once, it's worth paying for all of the time. Pirating the software does not make you cool, or elite, or even a really nice guy. It makes you even more of an idiot. If you aren't willing to pay for it, don't use it.
