Downloading A Os

[ReALeST]

I have windows 98 and im tired of it, I was wondering if anyone has downloaded Windows XP and installed it on their cpu? can you get caught doing this? thanks

look for the hash of windows xp pro corporate on the forum

if you install this, you most likely won't get caught.
the only way to really get caught is if someone sees it on your machine

Get Windows 2000 pro.

You will not have a problem.

But don't go around bragging "OMG I GOT DIS OS 4 FREE. U ALL SUK I AM KOOL"

[ReALeST]

anyone have a link to a perfect windows 2000 pro?

[J'Pol]

Why 2000 rather then XP Pro - pray tell.

I am intrigued.

[ReALeST]

w/e, a perfect windows 2000 pro or xp pro...im just tired of 98

[J'Pol]

I was just wondering why they were recommending it, rather than XP Pro

Get XP Pro for heaven's sake.
There are workarounds available which make it possible ( and easy) to get all the updates from Microsoft.
Outside of historical curiousity I can't see why you wouldn't get the latest OS.

if you have a slow connection, when loading the windows update site, you may see a message just above the taskbar with the text "check corporate=no"

if you have corporate edition, you will see yes

this is the "workaround" for the updates

quite simply, you don't need to activate corp, so there's no need to check if the copy is legitimate or not
