Default POLL: Is your copy of Windows genuine?

Mine isn't, my grandpa owns a PC company in Wales and he get discs, regkeys and all that jazz for me so I don't have to bother. It's great! No IE7 though but you don't see me sobbing over it.

But it your PC can burn the disc, and you can get the keys off the net.

So there are no costs for postage or the phone calls

Yes, but that requires user participation. I don't pay for the postage or the phone calls, all I have to do is ask my grandpa for the newest Vista or whatever and he does the rest. I love him very much

This machine has legit Vista Ultimate and XP MCE05. All the rest are either pirated XP Pro or some Linux distro.

I got legal versions of all of MS's operating systems except Vista because I finished before it came out (Professional) for free by an educational licence.

Stealing from Microsoft is as easy as stealing from Wal-Mart. So clearly, pirated.

Genuine XP here.

I still haven't really used the Serial Number because I just use the OEM disc to install it.

Where is the "Microsoft Representative"?
