    We all know that Microsoft is not the cheapest option for your home PC, but .. who's using licensed version of Windows Vista ( Ultimate, Home, etc. ) or Windows XP ?
    I had an idea to become a licensed user, but huh .. Windows Vista Ultimate costs 500$ :eek: Who can afford it ?

    Peoples are talking about internet piracy .. How many of you can pay 500$ to get a license and be a legitimate user ?

    I am running licensed XP. I usually try to buy when I upgrade hardware and qualify for an OEM version otherwise I doubt I could afford the software.

    3 licensed xp's and one licensed vista. One pc had vista but it didn't work good with my video stuff so I bought oem version of xp for $100 to replace it. My laptop has vista and its ok for internet stuff.

    The op is actually asking who's using legitimate copies, so I think it's normal to see only legitimate windows users to post here.

    Microsoft already filed lawsuits against a number of companies that sold unauthorized copies of software based on leads from customers who learned they had counterfeit software via the windows genuine advantage program

    Even though the OS is steeply priced, I have always preferred to use genuine one, simply because I fear of cracked version crashing too often! :(
