100% legit... desktop and laptop came with legal windows. other boxes run linux. most software is free/open-source. rest of the software is licensed for free coz its offered by the school (including a lot of microsoft stuff like windows and visual studio, sadly no office).
 
Aw crap, I was only thinking of my PC when I answered the poll. My Mac is like 90% Pirated, Only thing I paid for was the OS and that was because I had a student discount.

I would say around 20% if I had to guess.


I need to read more.

Come on. You must've had some freeware or open source. Mozilla? LAME? Winamp?

Well, it's free and legal. That's all.
 
About 99.9% legit. I've heard that System Shock 2 isn't actually legal to download, so that's what prevents me from a perfect score.

All my software is legit. The Microsoft Action Pack kicks ass, as does OSS.

lol well in college all i used was ie and on a pirated OS...well...
and for music well, if your playing pirated music through winamp...doesn't it kinda absorb the illegality? 😛
 
Only a couple, but 95% of the stuff if I like I'll buy (except for the ones that cost thousands of dollars) & If I don't I uninstall it anyways.
