Choto Cheeta Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 EDIT: Although I do agree that you wouldn't expect HP to go passing around pirated softw HP may not but local dealer may :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/970850-new-discovery-my-friends-computer-has-windows-7-sp3/page/3/#findComment-593627930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybrett23 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Are you speaking for every single shop in the World? Would you be willing to say that there are no shops in China that sell pirated DVDs? How would an operating system be magically different to that? Indeed, all you need to do is look at this article here: Ballmer: 9 out of 10 copies of Windows in China are pirated. Are you telling me that 9/10 people in china pirate the software themselves? Of course not, there are stores that are willing to offer the software to the customers, just like there are DVD stores willing to offer pirated DVDs. Now, I'm not saying that his software is definitely pirated. But to believe that there aren't shops that will put pirated software on your computer is just silly. EDIT: Although I do agree that you wouldn't expect HP to go passing around pirated software. i was being sarcastic, of cause it can be pirated, just because it came from a shop it means nothing Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/970850-new-discovery-my-friends-computer-has-windows-7-sp3/page/3/#findComment-593627940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BeanZ_ Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well he sends me the pics via msn and both of us have high-speed internet, so waddaya expect! So why isn't there an active MSN conversation open in any of those screenshots? Or does he feel the need to close the conversation window every time you ask him for a screenshot?

.Neo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @ iKenndac A friend of mine just got an error from the Mac OS X v10.6.6 updater saying it can't install on his Macintosh HD because it has Mac OS X v10.6.11 installed on it. He has no idea how to copy and paste in Preview or Photoshop, so it must be legit. I better start a thread in the Apple Support section asking for help. So weird that both Mac OS X and Windows suddenly start updating to future versions. Man, what's going on here?!

Southern Patriot Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sometimes even those ship with pirated copies... Even if the computer shipped with a pirated copy, wouldn't the Anytime Upgrade essentially negate the pirated status of it?
