I was just trying to understand why anyone would need multiple copies...are you running more pc's than you normally would at one time?

I haven't even tried w8 don't even wanna bother with it .....

So there is really a w9 coming out that's just retarded

Don't know what it will be called, but there is always something else to follow...probably sooner rather than later from this release.

The wife has one, I have one for daily driving and of course the not-so-defined setup for benching (Tech bench) that can be anything at anytime.

The golden rule of "You don't bench your daily driver" applies and making sure I don't have to do that.

So, by your count you already have three copies of an OS...why the need for more? Also, are you really using a full blown legit OS just for bench work? I probably have every legit copy of Windows OS's you can think of, but only one of each.,,and I have had upwards of six pc's running at one time doing various things. I think I have more than donated enough money for the "legit" purposes.

No, these are to replace what's there already as in XP since I was putting it off as long as I possibly could - And it's no longer possible to put off. Needed a copy of W7 for the two everyday machines, the benching rig can and does run anything I throw on it.

You're lucky Rick, fucking MS is always accusing me of running a pirated version even when it is one I bought from the store.. assholes. Change any equipment (HDD, MB, CPU, etc) and the installed Windows sends a message to Microsoft that it's in "another" machine. You are then guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, which is a royal PITA.

There is a URL you can buy full downloadable versions of windows with keys for about $59 for win7 Ultimate. You won't know you're buying from China unless you look at your credit card and see the transaction being changed from dollars into Remimbe :rolf: They do work though

Oh, I get that all the time when swapping things around. No big deal tho as I just activate over the phone...only takes about five minutes or so.
