Say goodbye to Windoze Genuine Advantage woes FOREVER!

[lom]

If you have a pirated copy of XP and can't access the latest Windoze updates, then download this nifty wee file and turn your copy of XP into a genuine one.

The file contains a 'product key reader' that finds and identifies your original product key, it also allows you to change your product key. There's also a keygen that provides a 'genuine' product key for you to swap over.

The file also contains a 'read me' file that has all the instructions you need.

I just ran it and I now have Windoze Media Player 11, Internet Explorer 7 and another 76 updates that I could never access before! Micro$oft Update has validated my pirated copy of XP as GENUINE!

Download the torrent here

Or if you prefer, download the file from YouSendIt

Ummmm lemmie see now....errrm, roughly to the nearest...Oh Yes! Nothing!

how much did you pay for your OS?

The nice shiny OS that came with the computer and never breaks down?

That'll be £0 to you......

 

[rc mad]

well, it worked on one xp computer still got the media center and another xp pooter to do.

I do have one valid copy of xp, but I begrudge paying for more than one copy of a piece of software

At least there's an endless supply of geeks who'll find a way of hacking it. I was actually looking for a newer, cracked version of IE7. The version I got last year kept freezing up on me, but then I found this.

It does feel good sticking two fingers up at Micro$oft

Damn straight! I'm in the exact same position

Ooooh great, I must tell all my networked business customers to dump their machines and install mac's. ......... couple of grand a throw with office etc and a nice learning curve for the staff.


Theyre just computers get over it.

 

[Chunky]

so you paid for it then

Aye, and you get what you pay for.

Since moving to Apple 6 years ago I've not had so much as a kernel panic.

I spent many years repairing windows machines for a living and I really can't understand why anyone with a bit of knowledge continues to use such an unstable platform.

What learning curve? Mac Office is exactly the same as Office Office, save that it works fine and doesn't screw-up.

i get the impression most mac devotees are still basing their prejudice on windows of 6 years ago

anyway, i only have a bit of knowledge so windows will do me

i did spend a a couple of hours playing with my mate's new imac a couple of weeks back. knocked any idea of me ever buying one straight out the window (no pun intended).

while initially nice to look at, the retro 2" bezel round the screen soon looked absurd.
i was most amused by the easily accessible USB socket on the keyboard that can't supply enough power for an ipod FFS! and where are the others? hard to get at, on the back of the screen with the power button. how i laughed

might be unfair to criticise the OS as i am a n00b with macs, but feck me it was hard work pretty, but a long way from intuitive. linux is much easier. seems you need to know a plethora of keyboard short cuts

overpriced, shiny bling for the kind of people who wear those funny blue tinted, oblong specs IMO.

macs? you can keep 'em

Possibly true for some. I use Mac as I know XP & NT inside out and wouldn't let it near a computer of my own

macs? you can keep 'em

Just the way I like it. As long as most people stick with windows, I'll not have to go out and buy any ant-virus software

 

[GSwadd]

Funny how they make Macs that can run Windoze now! Wonder why they do that....?!?

Purely a by-product of Apple moving to an Intel chip-set.

Exactly - I have to use Gate's crap at work all day and I know exactly now shite it all is.

Macs though. Rubbish. Very difficult to use. None of it makes any sense at all - takes years and years to understand even the basics, and even then, you have to know secrets that no-one tells you. That bezel looks soooo much more absurd that all those wires and shite training down to the sensible great big box thing that you get with Windon'tgos. And the accessible USB thing on the keyboard? WTF? Why don't they put it all on the back of a box on the floor under yer desk like and sensible person would eh? And Feck me - what the hell is going on with the no visus software needed thing eh?

None of it makes any sense at all - keep well clear, it's a minority of idiots who use them - the fad will soon pass.

ok, it's true my PCs are festooned with wires, but why won't the only accessible USB socket on the imac power an ipod?

incidentally, most PCs i see have USB sockets on the front of the box, you don't have to go round the back (always).

you mac types are very defensive/touchy aren't you
