It's simple I need to use the version that works, now I could just use the key I was given by a friend buts that's Iliigal or I could use a hacked copy that's Iliigal. I want to use my legal copy but Microsoft have moved the goal posts. I will yet again be on the phone to them today but it's hard work as its an overseas call centre and the line quality is not good for me as I wear hearing aids.

Why should he? He has a legal key that he has paid for, and this is Microsoft's issue.

because the EULA which you agree to says so ;)

I found that and it does give you an arguement but the EULA makes it clear though and you did agree to it. You know me I am no fan of how M$ licence their software. You pay for it but its never yours. I hate it its capitalism to the core so I do not tend to pay for OS's and screw them but your wasting money on calls and getting yourself stressed without need

And dude when you ever given a toss about copyright lol lol

well if you recover using pre installed OS them there is a chance nothing untoward will happen as the OS does not need to be activated.

Any resolution on your windows 7 key? as your posts have really put me off risking my legit Windows 7 now.

I will probably do This work around before the £15 deal expires though.
