I was just trying to understand why anyone would need multiple copies...are you running more pc's than you normally would at one time? :)

Don't know what it will be called, but there is always something else to follow...probably sooner rather than later from this release. :taunt:

The wife has one, I have one for daily driving and of course the not-so-defined setup for benching (Tech bench) that can be anything at anytime.

The golden rule of "You don't bench your daily driver" applies and making sure I don't have to do that.

So, by your count you already have three copies of an OS...why the need for more? Also, are you really using a full blown legit OS just for bench work? I probably have every legit copy of Windows OS's you can think of, but only one of each.,,and I have had upwards of six pc's running at one time doing various things. I think I have more than donated enough money for the "legit" purposes. ;)

No, these are to replace what's there already as in XP since I was putting it off as long as I possibly could - And it's no longer possible to put off. Needed a copy of W7 for the two everyday machines, the benching rig can and does run anything I throw on it.

You're lucky Rick, fucking MS is always accusing me of running a pirated version even when it is one I bought from the store.. assholes. Change any equipment (HDD, MB, CPU, etc) and the installed Windows sends a message to Microsoft that it's in "another" machine. You are then guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, which is a royal PITA.

There is a URL you can buy full downloadable versions of windows with keys for about $59 for win7 Ultimate. You won't know you're buying from China unless you look at your credit card and see the transaction being changed from dollars into Remimbe :rolf: They do work though :D

Oh, I get that all the time when swapping things around. No big deal tho as I just activate over the phone...only takes about five minutes or so.
