MS Eval programs rock by the time the timebomb goes off its time to reformat anyway

the 120 day ones ? or longer? i thought i saw a 365 day something once

 

[minendo]

Of course not. Why would I pay money for something that I can download for free?

 

[Doboji]

I'm not saying I paid for it... and I'm not saying I didn't....

Bought Mac OS X 10.1 a long time ago.

 

[Bryophyte]

All of my OSes are legal, but I haven't paid for one for a long long time...probably almost 10 years (except for one that came with a laptop.) MS gave me copies of all sorts of programs, including several OSes, when I was a reseller. Went to a bunch of MS seminars and stuff like that.

 

[Bateluer]

Aye, WinXP Pro came with my notebook and I bought a copy of XP Pro for my desktop as well.

 

[trmiv]
