pure bs..

im also using a *ahem* copy of windows.
for 3+ years i have not formated my os, only updates on the latest service pack.like sp3.
it's not the windows which causes errors...ITS THE USER of the windows.
i work in the IT line so i KNOW how to maintain my windows.

Share ur ways on how to maintain windows since u said it is users' problem.
U work min IT line ,yet u use pirated Windows....
Why don u select open source software?

OEM version won't allow you to do that because the activation will fail.

anyway, even with the retail edition, you are only supposed to use Vista on one PC at any one time. the difference here is that you can uninstall it from one machine and install it in another.

Retail version does not need activation?

Been using pirated winXP for 2 years at least. Never experience computer crashing before, and im able to download stuff from microsoft after verifying.

seldom get any viruses, but then I'm using AVG8.0, maybe there's some lurking inside undetected. Windows Defender also didn't detect any malware.

Never used an original before, maybe its better in performance compared to mine...

Bith of u patch the Win or sthelse?
There is fake WGA which can bypass the verify process.
Btw, AVG 8.0 can not a keylogger that is ravmone.exe.
The virus spread easily through pendrive.
