Lee Tow,
Don't know if this applies to the part of the world you're in. Here
(Australia) MS claims that they will bestow a "legitimate" copy of Windows
XP on you, if you hand in your priated version with a receipt for that
pirated version, how nice of them. I assume it could be global. In that case
print yourself a receipt out, as basic as it can be, even if it's in the
form of;
The Stupider Stones Cut Throat CD Deals Store.
(Prices so cheap you'll think you're on the planet Stupider)
1. MS Windows XP Pro
Total: $US 5.50
Remember you're dealing with pirates here so no one in their right mind
would point a receipt, that can be proved it was from them, point to any old
store, leave it to their denial to hold power. Just hold your word. If MS
hold their word you can install you new copy.
If not, it takes alot less smarts to install and get your friends copy
activated.
