No I did not fail to notice the 2nd hand part. In fact 3 of my systems were donated
to me (2nd Hand, if you Will) for the very simple reason that the previous owners
wanted a new system, had lost the CDs' and didn't want to mess with them.
Two were OEM so I located new Restore CD's. No problemo. The third had a full Retail
copy of XP PRO, but I simply found an OEM copy(legal, from an upgrader) and changed
the product code from Retail to OEM. Yes it's Activated.
Now you tell me which one is a Pirated Copy of windows.
We don't know from the info provided, but the poster is probably afraid to proceed
because of the accusation.
