Legit. I mean hell I paid nearly $3K for the PC as it was back in '03. You think I was gonna risk it on a warm copy of the OS?
Frag that noise :lol:
Only thing I did was buy the Pro version of the XP OS. Saved me more than a few hassles and it'll have support & patches from M$ long after the "Home" edition gets left in the dust (In fact by the time they mothball XP Pro support I'll be ready to upgrade/replace my PC to run the Vista "Pro" equivalent)
Other software? Legit, too much of the stuff "phones home" now to play around with (Okay, my copy of Office '03 is the "Student/Teacher Edition" but they sell it in Costco for crying out loud, M$ ain't being that picky).
Years ago? Oh hell no, my software was so warm I'm surprised those old PC's never caught fire :rofl:
