First step is getting that RAM lol. And convincing my friend to get me that Win7 copy. Cool, just let me know when you need it. Better safe than sorry. Long term, get yourself a second harddrive. Bastards are cheap. I gave a 500GB drive to my mother for free, just so it wouldn't gather dust. Mirror your data and you'll have some very nice peace of mind. I'd probably go insane if I didn't have my NAS device with mirrored 2TB drives. All my movies, music, pictures, ISOs, *cough*porn*cough*, documents, etc., I have on there. My wife even knows that if the house catches on fire, grab the NAS as we run out. I'll find furballs in my food for saying this, but I'll be saving my NAS even before my cats.

I gave up pirating Windows years ago. Figured I might as well have a reliable, supported version of an OS.. since all my applications are at its mercy.

I'd rather not take the risk. Microsoft wising up, ha, funny. And sending a "shutdown" update, which is imposable, they had the one update that patched old BIOS mods, the key word is OLD. There are 3 working patches, One to patch your SLIC when windows boots, 1 hard bios mod and a file configure. Dont try and argue, I know what i'm talking about. But I can see if you don't want to, it's just stupid TO buy it. Jeeps don't get stuck, they just take breaks. TripleBam wrote:That's the most spastic fucking pissing match I've ever seen. Good god.

But I can see if you don't want to, it's just stupid TO buy it. How is it impossible? It's their own software they're sending updates for. They could easily send lockdown logic with an update if they detect whether or not you have a properly validated copy. If they can make updates to fix problems, they can certainly make updates to cause them. 3 years of Windows-based technical support and 8 years of software development experience aside, it seems pretty obvious they can control what the updates of their own software includes. The only true safeguard you have against that is that they probably wouldn't risk such an update for fear of massive false-positives and shutting down legitimate copies.

I figured they could do this on any version of Windows, but yeah... doing it for slightly older versions would actually be safer for them and it would still discourage pirated copies of the OS since you'd know Microsoft will eventually target whatever version you have.

Thats the thing, they CANT patch it, it edits NO files, it injects the SLIC table (if you dont know what that is, its for OEM computer's, so you can register hundreds of computers simultaneously), so if they blacklist the keys, it will disable thousands of computers, and then someone would just use someone elses key, Micro$hit is just dumb, they should just remove all activation and go back to XP, there is no stopping piracy, look at Crysis 2, they said it was uncrackable, boom, 2 days after release, a crack. But back on topic. Jeeps don't get stuck, they just take breaks. TripleBam wrote:That's the most spastic fucking pissing match I've ever seen. Good god.
