Its probably not a good idea to advise some one to engage in illegal activites on a forum.

"Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed."

Yeah, I think if you dont want to get banned or somthing that method of installing/acquiring windows should be droped.

Yeah, don't listen to that guy, don't rip off the good folks (lol) at M!kr0$0f7.

I have one copy of Windows XP that has over time probably been installed like 6 times over 2 computers. Nothing happened, I don't know the exact rules though. Listen to the other guys that have responded, they seem to know whats going on.

I put MS Home on the my girlfriends computer, and it runs on the same code that my laptop uses. As her computer cannot physically connect to the internet due to damage to the bus on the motherboard ( at least i think that's the problem. No kind of networking works, be it PCI cards, USB networking, etc. etc.) so i figure who's going to know.

Microsoft sold XP to the Malaysian government for $3 a liscence when they threatened to go to Linux a few years ago, when XP was a fresh OS. They kind of abuse their market dominance. But that's a discussion for another day, eh?

Again, no body knows. The only way it's going to cause problems is when you install the same key more than 20 times.
