i use an illegal version of Vista as well. Torrented it with a generated key, never had a problem. Actually , microsoft even says i have a legal version lol

oh brother.

 

 

 Amen+1.

Never trust torrented operating systems! Its becoming quite lucrative to steal money via online transactions and you want to give them the chance to mess with it before it even goes on your system?!?!!?!

 

i have it since september 2007, what's your deal actually?

Is it true that all Vista DVD's are the same? Basically all that matters is the key you actually put in?

 

They are, but I doubt that he owns a "vista cd" he has a recovery cd with specific drivers for his laptop most likely. Theres no guarentee that a vanilla vista install has the drivers to even install on his laptop, or that the drivers are easy to find if it installs.

 

yeah, I thought about that. But, I usually have no problem finding drivers. I just want to utilize the key he already has so it will be nice and legit.

ok, fine. go to somewhere like WWW.mininova.com - search torrentz and READ the comments carefully, as in every single one and pick one with a large number of comments and seeders.

Be careful and then as soon as you can replace it with a LEGIT version, be careful. Microsoft can't assure security when its been touched by hackers before you get it. Think about that, especially if he does any online banking/shopping or even enters personal details like social security for things like identity theft.

 

oh, no. I didn't want to imply that I wanted a torrent. I just don't trust those sites.

I was actually hoping someone here had a image of there Vista disc and could put it up somewhere I could download.

I didn't think it was about stealing, but sorry I can't help with that unfortunately. I do have a couple of disks but I wouldn't know how to image them properly nor do I have apropriate hosting.

Why don't you use a copy of XP since you probably have a disk right? and plod along unactivated until he can order the proper disks?

 



Tease.
