I'm not a big fan of personal property. So I'm coming over to take all your stuff.
It's amazing the lengths people will go to to justify theft and their twisted sense of entitlement.
That was taken out of context, and I suppose you did that because the only way you could flame me was if you took what I said out of context. Im not going to got on a Rant about this, because people that make statements like yours are only looking to start flame wars or push their own views on someone else. As ive said in this thread many times before, im not advocating or participating in piracy. Im noot breaking the 'rules' but I do however have a right to disagree with them without being persecuted. Go hunt witches somewhere else please. I think I made that very very clear in my last reply, but I guess you must have missed it, so ill quote it:
Im not a huge fan of an unchecked capitialism and huge corporations, but those are issues that are beyond the scope of this message board. But the fact is, my feelings on those things dont matter in this context.. im not pirating windows, and im not aiding in the pirating of windows in anyway, I am simply curious about the situation.[/b] Im not here asking HOW to pirate windows either.... Just pointing out an anomoly in the activation process....... (please dont generalize this statement to other situations, just because I dont feel a responsibility to intervene here, doesnt mean I wouldnt intervene in soemthing I thought of as truly 'wrong' ) We all have different ideas about what is right and wrong, and we can discuss those differences without insults and ignorance. However im not looking to discuss these things here at all. This thread is NOT about the ethics of pirating, private property, or capitalism. Its about what seems to be a strange incident in a piece of software.
I agree with Bozo1....Ask your friend if he is actually "Activating" through MS or merely doing the registration...I highly doubt that they are actually activating. I have gone through the activation process enough times to know that that stupid crap can be pretty unforgiving. If your friend IS actually activating, I say he's got a golden copy there. BTW, It wasn't my intention to get your BVDs' all tied in a not...No more thread crapping
It's ok, I may have overeacted a bit, but I think that is understandable. Im so used to posts like AmusedOne's that I tend to be jumpy about such things.
Once again, back to the topic, and let me make this clear:
It IS indeed activating on multiple NON Dell machines. There is no doubt about this... It looks like no one knows whats going on, so oh well. For those of you that havent been uneccessarily crappy about this thread, I will post an update when I find out what happens down the road....
) and from what I understood this isnt possible.. I dont think he is using any special kind of crack or anything
