I didn't use a program. I saw a tutorial on a Dutch tech website how to do it. I can't remember exactly, but I think I changed something in the register, rebooted started Windows Product Activation, and then rebooted again.

Who cares? People who use windows deserve that kind of treatment! Period!

I once heard a story about a guy who ordered Windows XP from the internet. When he got his Windows XP box home, he installed the operating spyware and was soon asked for the license code "worth" $ 215.
He couldn't find it in the box. He called Microsoft and asked them to send it to him. After some difficulties, the promised to send him a license code. After 30 days, his computer was locked until he got the license code a month later.

Windows XP is a worthless piece of sh!t.

If I wasn't a gamer, I'd have no reason to keep windows. Win98SE for the record.  :rolleyes:

Not exactly. Linux gamers have two options:

• Buy native Linux games, like Quake 2/3, Unreal Tournament (2003), etc.
• You can emulate many games in Linux with WineX. The disadvantages of WineX:

There is a paid and a free version of WineX. The paid version has support for installers and playing games that need a CD-ROM. The free version doesn't have that, you have to install the game in Windows, find a no-CD crack and then play it.[/list]
