You can fix your computer by uninstalling vista and putting anything else on.

Fuck Vista? You stole it, and now you're pissed off that your stolen shit isn't working?? That's damned inconsiderate of Microsoft.

An upgrade is as little as $70.
And stealing from Walmart? You're one of those people who thinks stealing is alright as long as it's a small amount from a lot of people instead of a lot from one person? Alright....

While I may not pay for all software I use I do not consider myself a pirate. There are things that I wouldnt buy no matter the price. Things like photoshop, if they came up with a copy protection scheme that was un-breakable I would just go back to my beloved demo of PSP4.
Adobe has lost no money from my use of the software, and infact, have GAINED money because through my use of it I have recommended it to many clients who have bought legit version who otherwise would have went with that bullshit corel or peddles.
I have downloaded plenty of games and have played them all the way through. The ones that held my interest for that long have all been purchased. Anything that has locked features I download the full version of and IF i find them worthwhile I pay for them. I use the honer system when I try out my software and although it is technically the wrong way of going about it. At the end of the day Im the type of customer that most places wouldnt mind stealing their software. I wouldnt have bought it anyway and it gets deleted or I end up buying.
At home I'm running 4 windows XP machines, a windows 2003 server with exchange and all are fully licensed thanks to Microsoft's partner licensing schemes.
Just a word of advice on the correct way to pirate software.

I have no problem with people that copy programs, but why sugar coat it? Theft is theft. When we copy software, we are taking something that doesn't belong to us without permission. One of my many hobbies is reverse engineering copy protection on software, but I don't kid myself and try to convince myself that I am somehow being righteous.

I agree completely. I copy software, music, videos, and more. But I don't kid myself. I'm a thief. On the other hand, I do pay for music and videos I really like and software I depend on, so it's a middle of the road thing with me.
I think the digital intellectual property industry is going to have to come to terms with the fact that tech-savvy people are going to copy shit and tech-ignorant people are the ones who are going to pay for things.
Example: when my parents want a CD, they have no choice but to buy it. They have a hard time just figuring out how to send email. They don't stand a chance of figuring out how to pirate something.
For better or worse, that's how it is.
