Let me share a fact with you. Yesterday's experience. I thought let's lie to MS and see what they do with my pirated product key of XP. I installed XP in a computer with a Googled key and called them (Skype Tool Free) for activation. Now they says they key is not valid and I said what can I do. Then they forward me to another executive.
The experiance was awosome. WIth some permission sharing, that agent get into my computer and checkd a few things in front of my eyes. Foldes like VISTA_XP_CRACK, DISABLE_WPA etc was on that desktop. I wanted to see what he really do. He did not do anything and just asked me where did you get this key. I said from Dell. He said why did not you called them. I said this computer is baught 4 years back and it doesn't have any warrenty and they asked me to contact with you. So he did the following... ****** Hi Omi, This is Zaffar with Microsoft Windows Technical Support. It was my pleasure to work with you on your Windows service request 107xxxx21.
