Just mod your BIOS with SLIC 2.1,flash it,install Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (check the MD5 and CRC to see if is official M$ untouched MSDN .iso file),install it,install the certificate(it will bring to a genuine OEM),now use a leaked OEM key to activate your OS on M$ servers,all updates work and you are genuine...

I wouldn't bother with that if the app RessR posted works fine.

Use a loader like everyone said before, windows 7 costs too much to actually buy it.

New versions of windows are coming out because companies like Nvidia, Intel and Amd are paying microsoft to release them.
That's where the support for continued windows development comes from and not from every day users.
I know very few people that call themselves windows fanboys unlike the shitloads of mac users that almost all call themselves mac fanboys.
The majority of users that use windows don't call themselves windows fanboys, in fact I am a long time windows user yet I was never really happy with any version of windows realeased until now and I also think microsoft is one of the most uninspired and unoriginal mega corporations to ever exist. and I have never once bought it in their entire history of products!
In the past, microsoft would also get bribed and persuaded to release new stable versions of windows by game developers that used to make money with games on the pc back when pc gaming was still alive and kicking.
Microsoft is also getting it's share of profit from companies that buy 100 or 1000 licenses at once for their cubicles...

So my verdict is clear. Do not support microsoft with your money even if you have them, they do not deserve to get any richer!

So you wouldn't buy their products, yet you use them?
Interesting, this is like saying, I think this car I see there is very uncreative, but I still think it's worth stealing.

Either it is worth its price for you or it isn't but what you say, makes no sense. Absolutely none.

It's more like, this car I see there is very uncreative, but I need it to go to work, so I still think it's worth stealing.

Except that's not how capitalism works: Either there is demand for product X at price Y or there is not. Stealing is illegal, and does not work with the system.

Copying ain't stealing. Piracy = stealing is something those megacorporation has planted in your head. Learn the difference! The product ain't gone from your hands when you copy a product. That only happens when you steal.

They don't lose any money if you wouldn't buy it anyway, like Mr.Deviance does. There is a dozen of alternatives to Windows, but since Windows can be pirated easily, people will use Windows. Probably every developing country runs pirated windows.

I know that Microsoft let the chinese pirate their OS, so they can achieve a software monopoly in that country. If piracy did not exist, would China use Windows on their computer or maybe some other weird chinese OS?

Microsoft has dominance in the OS arena, that is why I use them (haven't paid anything though, getting free licenses from my job), but if piracy did not exist, people may probably wouldn't use Windows if they needed to pay for OS to use other bought software.

There is no difference. Either way the company makes a loss. And it's not any "megacorporation" that has planted that in my head, it's proper thinking. You can't simply start stealing things.
It would be like argueing that if you employ a cleaner in an illicit working relationship, the state does not lose money by your tax evasion because you wouldn't have hired a cleaner legally. Yeah, guess what, you still get busted for it.

That argumentation is the most ridiculuous one. Let's say I got this pair of Nike shoes. How much do you think they costed the company to make them? $10 ? You wish.
The $10 are a negligible amount compared to the $150 bucks you did not pay for them.

Still, not even that is the point. The virtue of interlectual property is entirely gone here. What's next? A little patent infringement?

In capitalism, it is as simple as this: Either the price at which a product is offered suits you or it doesn't. If you can convince the seller to lower his price for you to buy it, fine too. Stealing - and piracy is stealing - is illegal. Even then, is that "piracy is not stealing" trash helping you to sleep at night? Because, apparently, there has to be some justification found for you. As long as it's not stealing, I can live with it. It is just because those "megacorporation"s have that money. It won't hurt them. How about I start stealing your properties because I don't think it would hurt you either? Or how about we all pirate - really let's fuck the system, right? - OH WAIT, that will cause a fucking economical collapse.

Hypocrites, get out.

tl;dr kk
I think it would be wise to stop right here.There's no point of arguing over piracy on a piracy site.

I just lost a huge reply that took me a long time to write. Fuck you Firefox and phpBB session management. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: FUCK
Basic idea: Huge rant about why the discussion is pointless and all the things that are wrong with the current system and its rules, ChrisTX is wrong, I will keep buying/pirating the stuff that I buy/pirate.


Edit: AND THE FIREFOX TEAM EVEN BRAGGED ABOUT HOW YOU CAN'T LOSE ANY FORM DATA ANYMORE IF FIREFOX CRASHES. YEA GUESS WHAT, YOU CAN'T, IF YOU LOSE IT AT THE FKING GREYED OUT "BACK" BUTTON AFTER A FAILED FORM SUBMISSION ALREADY! @== @== @== @== @==

In Opera, text you type often remains in the program's memory space, even if it's lost or the tab closed. I don't know about Firefox, but you could try WinHex or HxD to read its memory. I've recovered some long posts that way.

When you write something you'd hate to lose, it's a good idea to copy it in a notepad window precisely in case something like that happens.
