i get the 'legit' part.
here's some fresh info-
"Due to m$ new EULA, IF we activate our legit ones, it doesn't matter. say another pirated vista user has UR key and types it in.....(now the fun starts:D)
U DO a reinstall, and found that the key is in use, cuz on the other machine (pirate one), it is now activated and he becomes a legit user.
This is like a software epidemic virus, that can't be repaired. hope m$ copes up with this problem....it's also the reason for which i haven't done a single reinstallation of vista.
i.e Kept it on a partition, and worked flawlessly w/ others ;) (manly XP, and linux)
My current status shows activated, and no problems have arrived."

yes this is true...BUT all you have to do is call M$ (If your smart being this key is licensed to dell its also licensed to a certain model number remember what Dell it was (example: Dimension 590e) tell them its your key (take down the X10-XXXXX number on the sticker) to prove you have the "legit" key and whala they believe you not that hard, oh and if the key doesnt work for some reason they take you to the product key center for ever 1 key there are 3 keys this is what they told me on the phone, so they give you another verson of the key and NOW you have not only a "legit" copy but now you have your OWN personal key taht is based off of 1 key ;)

Microsoft is sorta smart on how they base it but they have to remember they pay people in malaysa to stay on the phone with you..they dont care about storys or the reason why they ask you ONE simple question

"is this the only system your software is on" you say yes..they give you the 42 digit number and your legit once again...its not hard if you know what your doing...

well i wouldn't just take someones key like that i mean unless they gave it to me..but for the whole keygen thing i think its stupid to wait that long, IF it even works as people stated the whole 180 day thing, i mean home ultimate is only 120 dollars on newegg.com. that isnt that much concidering how much xp cost at launch i got this key from someone and thats why im using it i dont see why people would go through the hassle of using timestoppers and WGA cracks...oh and about the whole product key x10-xxxx code, that was really stated IF you actually own the copy or it was given to you that you can defend your rights as the user cause you have proof that your keys been pirated

with this os being sold for a reasonable price this time around id say pirating it is not fair otherwise you justify why xp was kept at such a high retail price.

U DO a reinstall, and found that the key is in use, cuz on the other machine (pirate one), it is now activated and he becomes a legit user.

I think the chances of that happening are near impossible.
Some guy with your key inputting it at exactly the same time as you're reinstalling? I honestly don't thinks so.

not exactly, but re-installations take time ya know, say 15 minutes . in those minutes more than a million hackers are trying different keys, it isn't always possible, but hackers do many things they want....
but the pre-used key theorem in the thread's topic and the 1st post, says in an indirect way "I buy a Vista dvd, and find out that it's used....."

I have legit keys for any OS I've ever used, but I can see why some use cracked keys, having to go through all that BS when you change some hardware on YOUR system is just unacceptable.

Of course, be a good consumer and purchase a copy ;)

lol, the only peeps that are getting a key are ones with octa-core xeon's with 16gb of memory...

useless for us :nutkick:

Someone with a 2.8GHz P4 got a key in 5 minutes.

ok here's something :) -
1. Hacker can do many nasty things, example- they can set some Vista Compatible software site, and set tracking hidden malware in them and they get ur key.
2. As the new EULA says when u move vista to a new pc, the license switches to that pc, and u have to uninstall the old one. ifyou think a lil deeper. u'll find out many traits comin out.
try it:) !
