    All versions of XP and Vista on my pc's are legit. All versions of OSX on my Macs are legit.

    I also use various versions of Linux mainly as a gee-whiz thing. But, I liked Linux enough to buy retail versions of SuSE in the past.

    I used to be a die-hard Amiga user when I was younger. I used to pirate games and other software on the platform, not thinking I probably was doing a lot of harm to a platform with such a small user-base.

    When Commodore finally went bankrupt and ceased production of the Amiga in 1995, I can't help but feel I helped in that platform's demise. That's why now, I avoid bootlegging whenever possible.

    I once purchased a Toshiba laptop that came bundled with a lic version of WinME. The OS kept on crashing. I tried to reinstall, reformat etc.. no improvement. In desperation, I got a bootleg copy of the same OS. The PC worked fine with it.

    The pirated copy turned out better than the original. I dont consider it piracy as I had the original stuff, it just wont work.

Is your OS licensed?
