I think Kona would be better off buying a complete Dell system. At least he would be getting a legally liscenced copy of WinXP rather than some cracked version from ebay.

If that XP doesn't require activation then it's likely to be an OEM version [as originally leaked to the net [by a Dell employee, I believe]]....every man and his dog could get his hands on that. As to having an 'original' MS disc....then my guess is that you shouldn't be....unless you are a systems manufacturer/distributor....

Does this mean that Kona could have a copy of XP that he is not authorized to have?

Actually I remember getting it from a friend if that helps you all understand. i brought my PC to him for repair and he put XP on it, all activated. He gave me a copy of it. The copy dosn't work now BTW. So I am stuck in 98kona0197 land for now even if I did build a new system.

| Its been a long time I do not remember where I bought it. I never have had to call Microsoft to activate windows. Everytime I run the activation thing it says XP is already activated. |

what does it matter Jesse? the whole point is I am not using XP and it is not installed on anything I own so who cares? Microsoft could come to my house and find nothing.

...but if you still have that CD, so if you are not authorized to have it then that is an illegal copy you have in your house.

So you were going to build a "cutting edge system" using a Celeron processor and a scratched up illegal copy of WinXP?

Hey Tech when did you get promoted?
Last time I checked you were just as bad (if not worse) than me on some threads. Besides you have not been here as long as me. And you even got exiled once.
??????????

Legolas probably has a legal copy of XP which does require activation but just activated itself over the internet like mine did a long time ago. It's never required me to phone Microsoft. I believe it does that if you move it to another PC or make some very significant changes to the hardware in the box.
