LOL. THose that knew what I was asking didn't answer. One of the biggest problems with the warez (aaaaaaahhhh) copies of Win XP Pro is that Windows Update doesn't work...CD burning probs, can't do file searches.
I love it. The version you can download is a screwy beta....everyone is downloading it and whining about problems. I think companies should purposely put up bad versions of programs....just to punish those that choose to download them rather than buy them.
After all, it would serve them right.
windowsupdate on my REGISTERED copy of XP Home works flawlessly, though it is disconcerting to have to download 10 critical updates and 12 Windows XP updates.
Ah well, must mean they're working harder every day to make it better and better for us to use. Or at least that's what I'd like to think.

there are no problems with the Warez version of Windows XP, there are several fake versions and one version that works flawlessly with eveything (inc windows update). Not that i know anything about it, but i have friends who use it and laugh at me with my registered version.

I've seen alot of those fake XP's floatin around. But there are a few real 'CORPORATE' editions around too. I grabbed one just to try xp before i spent my money on it. It worked fine, but i didn't like xp so i'm back on win2k now.
And no, i don't encourage anyone to use a warez version of anything. If you like/want it BUY IT!!!

You'd be suprised. We mods have secret pleasures in getting people to admit running warez copies of software, esp. Windows.
People need to understand if they don't pay for software, there is no tech support included, whether it be company provided or forum assisted. I am quite sickened at the number of posts in here where people have problems with what is later found out to be a warez copy of software.
it's funny, one of the guys at work was telling me windowsupdate didn't work on his copy of XP Pro. "Hmm.....let me explain...."lol

but Windows Update works on the illegal version of Windows XP, he just didn't burn the disk correctly or got a nuked release
This is what my friend told me
actually the Windows Update site has problems with the legal registered version as well sometimes, it doesn't mean he has a Warez copy necessarily. When it scans for updates it gets stuck sometimes.
