So you wouldn't need to mess around for 120 days...
Mind you, even if someone gave me a free legal copy with the serial stuff, I wouldn't have any use for it,
except for flogging it on ebay.

Quote from: Crucibleofevil But if you could lay your hands on a pirate etc copy of Windows 7, it would be a cracked copy.
Not necessarily. Windows 7 RTM has been made available to Microsoft Technet subscribers so if you have a friend of a friend who subscribes to Technet you might be able to get hold of a copy. Or they might have carelessly left a copy on the internet for others to find and download. Although Microsoft gives you 30 days to activate Windows (extendible up to 120 days, apparently) I don't think this was ever intended to be a try-before-you-buy system. If a "cracked" copy of Windows 7 of Windows 7 is a pirate copy, surely a temporary copy of Windows 7 that is not obtained through normal channels is a temporary pirate copy?

They made their money by selling Office and a few other products.

(and 1p in the charity bucket)
Nonetheless I'm thinking of buying another at that price - already got 1 ordered for just over £40.

Or use me.
