-pops- Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Do you know for certain that your Windows copy is not genuine? There have been some instances where the MS checker has been mistaken and it may be useful to check with MS if you are at all unsure. They will also be able to tell you the options available if ypur copy is found to be illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's hardly a credible thread title is it? It was bound to provoke a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 If your copy of Windows is not genuine MS may (depending on the circumstances) provide a genuine copy at a reduced rate. The only way to find out, as I wrote in my first reply, is to contact MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
