I have only read one review from someone who installed it, they said all went fine. But always best to read as much as you can before making changes.

I think Microsoft once had some program for such people to buy a legal key or something like that, you may want to look somewhere on their homepage.

Not necessarily true. Of 114 million systems that have failed the "Genuine Advantage" test, less than 0.5% have been confirmed as counterfeit software. Important info: (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070124-8690.html)


Last summer Microsoft admitted that over 20% of WGA failures were caused by something other than key piracy, that is, piracy involving either a product key generator or use of a volume licensing key. The company would not reveal the exact nature of these results, other than to say that a portion of them stemmed from unauthorized use of OEM keys on non-OEM hardware (i.e., someone using a Dell copy of XP on a non-Dell machine). At the time, Microsoft refused to comment on the rate of pure false positives, that is, the rate of verifiably incorrect identifications of pirated software.

With the release of this latest data, Microsoft said that WGA had a false positive rate "under 1 percent." A more precise number has not been forthcoming.

This is an impressive figure until you realize that this means that as many as 5 million people were wrongly accused of being software pirates. From Microsoft's point of view, the error rate appears to be acceptable. 1 percent sounds pretty low, doesn't it? That slice grows to almost 5 percent if you talk only about false positives as a total share of all "hits" on pirated software.

Well Lemur, that's new to me.
I was thinking along the lines of a computer shop preinstalling illegal Windows copies on systems which I have heard of before.:wall:
