"This copy of Windows 7 is not genuine"...Pretty sure the $ I spent on it was genuine

The hassle of the activation system is the best reason to pirate Windows. ;)

This is why I bought the full retail version. Much less hassle.

LOL. This reminds me of a CS match I had a few years back...

We all joined up, and one guy on our team dropped because of a crash.
Waited about 15-20 min before we started with a sub... at the end of the match he unmutes himself and starts bitching about Microsoft - his PC crashed, and Vista randomly de-activated itself. He had to call MS and talk to a human to re-activate his OS - reading out very long codes back and forth...

My 'special' copy never de-activates like this.

FWIW I buy my legit copies cheap from a buddy who works at MS but I prefer the hassle-free 'special' method.
