Damn you, Microsoft. I need a valid license code to install it anyway, why can't I just download it from your website? I've actually got more legal Windows licenses than I know what to do with at the moment, because I run Linux on most of my PCs, but I can't find any Windows 2000 install discs other than the crippled ones that only install on slimline Tiny PCs. Damn you, I say.

Well, it's a good thing you didn't mention Bittorrent, or any sites like suprnova. Because that would be wrong, getting a copy from a place like that. Even if you WERE using it with a real Serial code because you had a valid reason (disc loss) I'm glad NOBODY mentioned it, and lets all forget that we even discussed the subject.....

Well after the service packing, you basically HAVE downloaded Windows. Hah!

 

[iapetus]

Exactly. Given Microsoft's insistance that I don't own the CD, just have a license to use the software, they should provide that software to me on presentation of proof of this (my license key) complete with all patches so that I don't have to download the same thing multiple times. How useful would that be? Hell, they could even let me do a network install in the same way that many Linux distributions do. Just download a simple boot floppy and you're off!

By 50 grand you mean $700 right?

Good question since you "technically" don't own the store bought CD anyway. You're only buying the license to use it.
