I seen this before on people system i found were running XP Pro bootleg. the showed me the CD they used and it was just one big bug and they had been using it for w year or more. i clean the system and got them legal copy after we re-built their systems.
Vista and Win 7 have the same problem. People wan to buck the system and screw MS(sorry they are doing that them self you need not help) MS made the RC available and i got it and i am testing it so why bootleg it? people think they will get it to run for eve with out buying it the want something for free and not pay the $$$$ for it.

If you download a program from someplace and you get hit servers you right ..you just end up paying some like me to fix it later and it would have been cheaper to have just got it legally.

I see ton of bootlegs i eve seen fake HP and other companies Restore CD that were full of software to spy on some one. It was set up to spy on the people it was sent to and the people thought it had came from HP it had been sent by someone that want them to re-install their OS on their systems so that security patch could be installed.

Trying to beat the systems has cost you will never see till it is too late

Free isn't really free their is some cost always

you deserve to get the virus if you download a FREE MS product off of P2P sites. Though i wouldn't call it pirating as its IS FREE you know. Its just downloading from another source; which can't be trusted; which is stupid to do; considering...what was that again... FREE FROM MS
