Figuring out how to stop the latest round of windows advantage cracks from letting you download updates on naughty copies of XP (think I am on my 6th and currently working version)
Damn why didnt you just tell me? If ya want I can upload a legit copy of XP Pro and share with the special folks. PM me if anyone wants.

BTW I believe MS does own the patent to ipod or something because they get a huge chunk of $$$ for each ipod sold.
Sure I will take a copy of that, but you do realise that every time its installed (with some different hardware) that it could count as another installation and I think they only let you do 10 or so..
Only 10? I believe that per cd key rite? Since the copy I have has been used on more then 10 computers already. You can always just find another CD key. But why I am offering this CD is beucase it hard to find an untampered with CD of XP PRO. Already got 1 person who wants it but I just realised I need to upload it first somewhere. I think its probably 650 megs compressed. Let me know anyone if ya know where I can upload other than rapid share!

BTW sorry bout talking bout sharin software I know we aint allowed to but....
