unless their WGA crash the system on purpose if not, its juz a treat to scare ppl.

For companies don't use pirated software bah. They are making $$ from selling their software, you making $$ frm using their software. Paying them is definitely worth while.

You wouldn't want to see ppl sell imitation products of yours also.

ps: my windows is VLK

lol, that doesn't count as pirated. as long the product key used is legal, there's nothing wrong using pirated media, unless you're skeptical of what the media contain...

And believe or not, I even called Microsoft support to ask about my pirated Windows problem, and they just help me, no question asked. whistling.gif But using original is worth the time and money since you didn't need to apply some 1337 crack everytime WGA updates, also the packaging and media is so nice, so, get original thumbup.gif

on the contrary , i know of one that makes your copy completely look original from the time you implement it onwards tongue.gif

OEM key won't protect you from WGA if the key is shared with others and activated. the solution is volume license key, period.

it's legal business - you prefer jail or a quiet and peaceful days at home?
keeping things legal is the only way in any kind of business, even the dirtiest one.

it's give and take, you want to use their software, you pay the license, so don't brag if you are "safe" when you are using the software illegally...

true. i guess the only choice we have is to support other open source software.
there's pretty much no other way.

wrong - with pirated software - you won't be able to update your system and receive support.
yes, the system flawed, but Microsoft delivers patches and updates to genuine Windows users only.

even other operating systems have flaws doh.gif

even legal customer pay for phone bill when contacting the help line, what's the different actually?

i think you got the wrong idea, if you read my post before carefully, i said BEFORE this I used pirated one, but after realizing the worthy of genuine products, I start buying them. It's not too late to repent don't you think? doh.gif

you don't have to be proud of using pirated software... read the R&R and understand why you don't have to show off even though you successfully ran Windows illegally.

even though it is "before", your statement denotes that using illegal software is OK. that's embarassing just like saying "stealing is ok as long as the product is not broken and when I have the money I'll pay back the shop for what I steal".

What Virus got to do with non-ori Windows? Their concept is non-ori = unable to perform Windows update = unable to plug vulnerability loopholes = susceptible to worm & virus attack... that's the idea.

As for Microsoft Tech Support, they got policies on what issue entitled for FREE SUPPORT and what for PAID SUPPORT.

Apparently issues concerning VIRUS, WGA & Windows Update-related problem are entitled for free support.

Original Windows (FPP - Full Package Product) are entitled for FREE SUPPORT for the first 90-days upon activation or FIRST INCIDENT within the first 2 weeks (grace period) after the 90-days activation.

First time installation (FPP as well) also entitled for free tech support guidance on installation. Reinstallation not entertained or if you wished to pay for it, then they will forward your call to Tech Support.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

I'm using VLK Windows XP Pro too and I can tell you even that also not the ETERNAL solution for WGA; your VLK might have been blacklisted. Any product with the PID like 76487-64x-0011903-00101 where the second 3 digits combination of 64x (640~649) tells you that you are on a Volume License Key. Not same for Vista and Office 2007 though.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

The one and only way to actually allows you update while at the same time save yourself from the WGA clampdown is to be picky.

Here are some steps which I believe might educate you all on this:
