Me neither. And I don't beleive that I should pay a cent for windoze to
microsoft...which is why I allways install windoze from pirated copies of
the windoze cd...very cheaply available too...only about 2$..

I strongly encourage everyone who wants to install windoze to not to buy
the CD from M$...but to get it from a friend or use a pirated copy
instead...or install linux which is much better...

can leave you with a screwed up file system....
