I don't think this is the place to ask about illegal usage of software.

Come on Nascar, You don't really think all these people downloading SP betas actually paid for their XP's do you? I sure as f**k know I didn't :-]
Capitalistic Monopolising Scum like Microsoft deserve everything they get anyway. Surely your not naive enough to think Windows piracy actually effects Bill Gate's bank balance do you? If that was the case the dude would be living on the street man. The only difference between a legit user like you and a pirate user like me is I have more cash in my pocket because I don't fork out the criminal prices MS asks for their far from perfect software. Maybe if they settled for making 500% instead of 1000% profit from each sale, people like me would pay for the shit.

I put MS on the same level as any crack hustler!
Something you gotta have to keep your gaming addiction going
but at ****ing stupid prices!
I guarantee most people who work for MS are running Warez versions
because even with staff discount it's too expensive.

Neither of you answered his questions but I guess both of you are right Even though everyone argues about Microsoft Os problems we can't deny the fact that they are the most widely used operating systems in the world. I know it takes a lot of man hours to design an operating system but they ought to consider that the average Joe can not afford to pay that amount of money.

Well whatever. Nick6878 as a rule of thumb NEVER upgrade from 1 OS to another. Burn Cd..Backup..GRAB A SNACK..Boot from CD..format.......wait..reboot..reboot..reboot..reboot.reboot..so on and so forth.
