I should not need to explain this one.

I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can't say how much malware was in it though.
And yes I forgot an s so fucking sue me champ
I used pirated versions of XP for a decade. Nothing bad ever came of it. There were a lot of crackers back then that just did it for the challenge, and shared it because they wanted to.
My first copy of Winxp was stolen from windows a week before release, I found out when I saw a picture of someone holding a burnt disc with windows xp on it outside of Microsoft and it had my serial key on it.
Edit: here's the picture.
I don't even have to open the image to know it's FCKGW!
13 year old me loved that my windows key had fuck in it. I used to know that entire key off by heart.
That's awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.
My win10 licences are all from pirated Win7 that was grandfathered in when upgrading lol
Same here actually. Now it's totally free spyware/adware, so those days are gone. I just use Linux now.
