    2 warez and 1 paid-for that came with my netbook. I did, however, download from a torrent site when I had to reinstall. Going legit was a PITA as the authorization system insisted that it could not be done online. When I tried to call in, the phone system kept talking over me and refused to take the code sections. Ultimately, after a month of popups, the authorization that "could not be done online" worked online.

    I'll just download from now on- legit serial available, or not...

    My netbook came with Windows 7 preinstalled, but my first thought was "format and reinstall that shit". A quick look at the task manager and appwiz.cpl only reassured my decision - the amount of garbage installed and set to autostart (on a system with just 1 GB of RAM, no less) was enough to induce a mild heart attack.
