It IS illegal and un-ethical! Not only that but by using any of the cracks\activators out there you further the spread and use of them. "But officer I only bought that bottle of oxycotin because I didn't want to use my own prescription (That would wear it out)" or "I only drove HIS car because mine has this NASTY habit of running out of gas when I drive it" Also you speak of owning A copy of windows not 6 or however many installations you intend to use. It is NOT a matter of VIEWS, It is a FACT of the legal system and HIGHLY punishable by law. P.S. A technet subscription (Which would allow for SEVERAL activations on MANY of MS's products) is only $199, which is the same as buying a full clean XP pro.
