When most people pay alot of money for something, they usually
expect to get something, not to have the thing you are buying to
take more from you.
How does it take "More" from you. WGA has not cost the OP or her
anything.

Time.

Leythos, see the below link, and tell me again that WGA is not
costing this person any extra time. Look at that insane process
that Carey posted for the OP to go through!

I just read the two posts that you provided, and this is something you
might have missed (from the OP) "I am pretty sure that I have a legal
copy of Windows".

So, when it's all resolved, let me know if the copies of Windows XP
were legit or pirated, if they were pirated then the OP was not
wasting any time and is actually in a better position for learning
about it.
Yep. Lamegirl is a French Poodle. She presumes guilt until otherwise proven.

No, but when the majority of the responses indicate what appears to be a clear case of pirated software, well, it's fairly easy to understand. If a person states that they got their computer off e-bay, had not COA sticker, no media, is running Windows XP Prof, and has no restore partition, well, it's fairly easy to see that the seller screwed the purchaser with a pirated copy.


Go to the web based WGA forum and count how many Dell owners are having this problem. Are you saying that Dell ships computers with pirated software?
