keep up the great work mods!

rots...

---

Yes my tolerance has gone way down especially for common sense things like foul language :)

---

whew --nep i thought for a minute i was kicked out for the word screw----scared me brotha


i know someone explained the crack and what to do above ---so hopefully im smart enough to figure it out

hey nep is there a link to all these rules or the new ones so i can brush up on stuff--cause i dont want to lose my status

ok dumb # 2 for me theres a link under your name

Enough already!

You can get a legal copy of Win XP Pro for $80 on Ebay or Froogle.

I'd be willing to wager that people have spent more than $80 on less valuable things.

Think about how much use you get out of windows for your money.

That ethical "I hate M$" bullshit, i'm sick of hearing it as an excuse.

Windows... IT'S WORTH THE MONEY, BUY IT OR LEAVE IT.

Thank you mattspeed for stating what is common sense.

I agree with mattspeed, there are several sites out there to obtain a cheaper and legal copy of xp, from what i've seen however, the genuine advantage program is actually a rather good idea to me, i wouldn't have a problem with spending 150 bucks to convert a illegal copy of xp pro to a legit copy.

So,all things being equal, is Mattspeed gone for his cursing or is that just something your randomly doing when someone curses?

So much for that old underground feel afterdawn USED to have.

Excuse a noob... this referenced what mattspeed said... i found a website that sells XP Pro w/ SP2 for $59.95 and it's downloadable from their website ... it's oem .... so is oem any different than out-of-the-box Windoze ?!?

>>> rrawding, can you put the link to the site, so we can check it out for you?

Thanks.
Matt

Sure,

It's *removed*

Thanks. My kid mananged to get himself a bogus XP I'm trying to save him some $$$

hi

i think thats pirate software!

Rotary,

So how can anyone tell if it is pirated or not ?!? Site "looks" legitimate. And I've seen some 'legitimate - looking' copies of XP Pro on eBay that also are selling pretty cheaply...........


And if this website is selling pirated stuff, why isn't Micro$oft all over it like flies on poop?

And a lot of Windoze XP "updates" are just plugging the holes in it's XP "swiss cheese" ... so do I have my kid go to Linux .... he's leaning that way anyway...

hi

i know alot of those softwares and if you go to legit sites like amazon etc check out the real prices and they come on hard copies cds or dvds

i would be very careful!!!

autocad for $99.99 when it costs $900 umm interesting...

pick any software and check it out

Bottom line: DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!

The owner of the domain is in Russia, see here for the WHOIS http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=ankhsoft.com

STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE Y'ALL.

yeah

they may post the COA (certificate of authenticity) to you to stick on your pc

lol

---

oops i got stung by a bee on my left lower cheek

I think is just better to stick to an original version. Really! Why go thru all that stress of getting the crack, see if it works, etc., etc. and in a few days, start the cycle all over... I prefer peace of mind. Don't you guys???

My thoughts anyway :)
...

Thanks for the tips.....

I told my kid that he could do what he wanted to about it, but it is his neck....

I forked out the $200 for the XP upgrade while I was running 98SE from the PC I got in 1998 {which is this one I'm still running BTW) - I couldn't see buying the millenium edition which was about as good as Microsoft "Bob" from a few years back.... (mohahahahaha)


{lukutman will likely get booted b/c of his posted crack}

lukutman is dancing with the devil - muahahaha a a a

Not to go on a tangent here, but since we are talking about piracy, here's something that came to mind.

You pay 10$ to go to the movies, you bring your significant other with you, you're excited because this will be the best movie you will ever see, then "it" comes up...

Right after the ads, which honestly, I am not sure why these harrassing ads are there in the first place, there is the anti-piracy advertisement.

It has a provocative song to it, some stuntmen, and then boom the punch line:" You wouldn't steal a car, a woman's purse...etc"

How does piracy compare to stealing an old lady's possessions? Or stealing a car, evading policy, and accidentally running over innocent bystanders?

Just a thought here...

I was just looking at the price of XP home $85 and XP Pro $135 not bad but then I seen this

Important Note

Thank you for your interest in purchasing a Microsoft desktop operating system program from Z@#Z**mF!y.

Under the agreement with Microsoft that computer stores such as Z@#Z**mF!y must abide by, we are only allowed to sell this desktop operating system to you, the end user, if you also order either a fully assembled computer system or a non-peripheral computer hardware component in the same transaction. A fully assembled computer system shall consist of at least a central processing unit, a motherboard, a hard drive, a power supply and a case.

This applies to every Microsoft operating system program you intend to order. If you are ordering two Microsoft operating system programs, you must also order two qualifying accompanying products in the same transaction.

So I'll get the illegal copy for now

TO: hot_ice

Stealing/Pilleging Vs E-Pirating is definately an outrageous comparison. I agree fully with your point.

The MPAA and RIAA are clutching at straws. Could this mark them end for them, as was the case recently with Kodak?

Everybody that says windows suck because of all of the virus's and spyware and adware and stuff like that...arn't right

The people make their virus',spyware,adware,etc.... written in windows format because most people use it..........If linux was the most popular than people would write all of the virus' in Linux.....Simple as that

I like microsoft.......I also like Linux ...I don't see what the big deal is....If you can't deal with Windows than get linux and be ready to learn alot of stuff
My 2 cents

Take care MS has other web sites checking Windows. See the following source code:
